ReviewsMcGrath establishes the uniqueness of Jesus and the authority of Scripture as theological distinctives central to evangelical theology. He then explores the ways in which that theology is distinguished from, yet might fruitfully engage, the positions of the other three. The result is an exploration of postmodernism, postliberalism and religious pluralism that is a significant confirmation of the health and vigor of contemporary evangelical thinking.
