About this title

Review:

“Dr Harris brings to his task a long a rich career in theology and education. There is immense learning and great erudition. A welcome introduction to the heart of Christian believing and its story from the emergence of the New Testament and early Christian thought to the ecumenical diversity of the world Church as it enters in the new millennium.”  —Paul Ballard, Cardiff University
