2021 Textbook Excellence Award Winner (College) by the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA) Praise for the previous edition: I think The Christian Theological Tradition is the best introduction to the Christian tradition on the market. Joseph Kroger, St Michael's College, Colchester, VT, USA Endorsements for the fourth edition: This superb volume introduces students to the places, forms, and agents of a complex tradition incomprehensible without an accurate version of its historical settings. The new edition is indispensable for instructors and students alike. Robin Darling Young, The Catholic University of America, USA This textbook is both thoroughly historical and genuinely theological; it displays the vibrancy and sophistication of Christian attempts to deal with questions of meaning in a way that is accessible to undergraduates and other beginners, whether Christian or not. The text as a whole makes a compelling case that one cannot understand the world today without understanding the Christian tradition. I taught the third edition of this book for many years; this new fourth edition is even better. William T. Cavanaugh, DePaul University, USA
