Theology is not intended to be only a conversation for specialists.
If it is, as The Oxford Handbook of Sacramental Theology reveals,
meant to help interpret, illuminate, and guide the church's life
together. May preachers of every theological stripe embrace this
way of thinking about how theology works in the church...
*Theology Forum*
...a good launch pad from which mature students of theology can
grow in their understanding of the churchs reflection on
sacramental theology
*Ryan M. McGraw, PRJ*
This volume is a magnificent achievement, unrivaled in both its
breadth and its brevity. The fifty contributors, all experts in
their fields, cover a huge expanse of history and scholarship,
while still managing to make this knowledge accessible to the
interested and motivated reader.
*Gregory Soderberg, Journal of Reformed Theology*
This text will prove to be a standard resource for sacramental
theologians, and perhaps the first place to turn for those who want
to ask -- even if for the first time -- why and how Christians have
always believed that God works in and through matter.
*Jonathan Martin Ciraulo, Reading Religion*
