Discerning the Mystery: An Essay on the Nature of Theology [Paperback]

This book examines the influence of the Enlightenment on theology, arguing that its legacy did not profoundly affect the importance of tradition; that the ways of older theology hold a surprising relevance; and that the unity between theology and spirituality is once again discerned. A most learned, well-written, and provoking book, with some surprises for all. --Expository Times

Very appealing. Louth is a superb scholar who should be a standard participant in the current 'conflict of interpretations.' --Theological Studies

A provocative essay which raises crucial questions about the nature of contemporary theology. --Journal of the American Academy of Religion
