'Teachers of all levels of expertise and experience will find English, but also enlightening on the relationship between language, the content of a field of study, and the cultures of learners and teachers. A valuable and long-awaited resource!' - Margaret Cargill, Senior Lecturer, Adelaide graduate Centre, The University of Adelaide, South Australia. 'A fascinating first! This is a highly intelligent book which will be of real help to students trying to find a way into theological language.' - Timothy Radcliffe OP, former Master of the Dominican Order. 'English for Theology is a book I have needed and sought for years. This is an accessible resource for those learning and teaching theology. The book includes a wide range of reading and language skills, and demonstrates how theological argument is developed. Thanks for such a valuable contribution for new-English-speaking and longer-users of English.' - Janette Gray, RSM, Lecturer, United Faculty of Theology, University of Melbourne.
