"Christian Theology is the rational analysis of the Christian faith to understand Christianity more truly by comparison between Christianity and other traditions. Christian theology permeated much of western culture. Therefore, because of their interdependence a proper understanding of western culture or Christian Theology requires a full understanding of both.

This book therefore aims at making available to our readers, innovative, important and interesting up-to-date material on different aspects of the Christian theology in appropriate perspectives. It also provides a critique of Christian theology." (jacket)
