New Dictionary Of Theology , Wright , Ferguson , Intervarsity Press , Hardcover , new

This original and authoritative dictionary concentrates upon theology - its biblical basis, systematic expression and historical development. The aim has been to provide a concise reference tool without in any way curtailing the comprehensive treatment of theological subjects.

Here are articles on such intriguing topics as the theology of African Independent Churches, new religious movements, Dutch Reformed theology in South Africa, black consciousness and human rights, and such interesting figures as Jacques Ellul, Abraham Kuyper, Michael Polanyi and Teilhard de Chardin.

Here too is reliable information on a wide range of subjects of interest to the general readers - abortion, angels, baptism in the Spirit, Bible translation, punishment, the sovereignty of God and many more.

Contributors to the 'New Dictionary of Theology' are a team of international scholars. Totalling over two hundred, they are drawn from all five continents and many are acknowledged experts in their fields.

The Dictionary combines excellence in scholarship with a high standard of clarity and profound insight into current theological issues. Yet it avoids being unduly technical. Students, teacher and ministers, as well as scholars and everyone who desires to have an informed and biblically controlled approach to speaking about God and his works, will value it as an indispensable work of reference.

The worth of this fine volume is enhanced by the spacious layout and superb design, an extensive and easy-to-use cross-reference system and carefully-drawn-up bibliographies in which special attention is paid to featuring the best and most readily available works in English.
