This is a significant book for a number of reasons. First, it is unusual for a book of this nature to be published for one who is still comparatively young.
It celebrates the 50th birthday of Professor Alister McGrath, principal of Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, and recognises his outstanding contribution to the renaissance of evangelical theology over the last 20 years. Second, the authors of the various essays that make up this book include men who have either been influenced by McGrath or who are his colleagues. Not many of the names will be familiar to the British public. Only three are from the UK, all at Oxford. The rest are resident in North America. They are described as evangelical theologians from a variety of traditions, including Anglican, Presbyterian, United Church of Christ and Wesleyan.
