"Having grown out of classroom use for postgraduate students, the good introductory material make this reader quite appropriate as a taster for final-year undergraduates. A collection like this serves a useful function in helping students discover a good range of contemporary material in a short time." International Journal of Systematic Theology "These readings do a good job of acquainting the reader with the major characteristics of postliberalism and the ferment it has sparked. I recommend it to those seeking to understand these contemporary developments in theology." The Southern Baptist Journal of Theology "The editors have done a wonderful job of selecting and organizing the pieces which, taken together, provide an excellent introduction to an important project." Toronto Journal of Theology
