Description

Written by two philosophers and a theologian, this book provides easy access to key terms in philosophy and how they are understood and used in theology. The focused entries discuss what the terms have meant in classical and contemporary philosophy and then shift to what these philosophical understandings have meant in the history of Christian theology to the present day. The result is a unique volume that clearly shows the interplay of these disciplines and how theology has been influenced by the language and vocabulary of philosophy.

When I first started reading theology, this book was extremely helpful. Most theology that I read involves some involvement with philosophical concepts and this book lays out many of those key terms that I continue to run into again and again. The three authors involved in compiling and editing

these definitions serves to provide a helpful range of terms as well. Highly recommended for beginning theology students and for philosophy students with an interest in theology.
