Book List Beginning Theology
So here it is the first of my Book Lists this list is some of the books that I used for my very first module on my Theology Degree – Beginning Theological Studies. All have proved to be very useful in my studies and hopefully they will be of use to you.
Alister McGrath Christian Theology An Introduction, came highly recommended to me and I would say that it has been one of the most useful books that I have purchased in my studies it covers a wide range of subjects, doctrines and their origins. It isn’t Bed time reading by any means but it isn’t too heavy either and the way it is laid out allows you to dip in and read a chapter or section without getting lost. £18.13 including Delivery – Click Here

It uses examples and Scenarios to allow the reader to see how these concepts and ideas contained in the book can be undertaken.
