Description

If theology doesn't stretch our minds, it probably won't stretch our lives. In Café Theology, Michael Lloyd invites us to travel on a journey from Creation to New Creation, visiting the Fall, the Incarnation, Resurrection and Ascension, and stopping off at the Trinity and the Church. Michael's inimitable gift for mixing insightful theology with unflinching honesty and a fantastic sense of humour offers an enriching view of life and the Life-Giver. You don't have to be a professor to show more understand this book - it's written for anyone who wants to explore theology more deeply, with a study guide to help think through each topic. Readers will be refreshed and encouraged as this distinctive book makes theology applicable to our ordinary lives. show less

This is a well written, systematic, presentation of Christian theology written from a western European, evangelical perspective. As the title suggests it is intended to be accessible and engaging and it succeeds on both counts. If I had a quibble it would be that a tone that is intended to be engaging and passionate occasionally drifts into polemic, and at these times the otherwise balanced treatment of different orthodox points of view slips a bit. Overall a good read that I would be happy to recommend to anybody wanting to find out more about what Christians think about God, and as a strong foundation for ongoing conversations.

A great, easy-to-read, funny presentation of evangelical Anglican theology, such basic topics as the Trinity, Salvation, The fall, the incarnation, the crucifixion, the resurrection and what it means for us. The Holy Spirit. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and wore it out underlining. I think this would be a good book to share with someone not familiar with theology.
one of the best theology books that I've read
