Description: Since its publication, the New Dictionary of Theology has rapidly established itself as a standard, authoritative reference work in systematic and historical theology. More than 630 articles cover a variety of theological themes, thinkers and movements:

• from creation to the millennium
• from Abelard to Zwingli
• from Third World liberation theology to South African Dutch Reformed theology

Firmly anchored in the evangelical tradition, the NDOT is nevertheless wide-ranging in its scope. Over 200 contributors, experts in their individual fields, offer both Western and international perspective. Concise and comprehensive, biblically grounded and historically informed, even-handed and free from unduly technical language, this dictionary has been praised by general readers, pastors and scholars.

"The NDOT combines a breadth of interest with careful scholarship and readable style, making it a most valuable resource. . . . I commend it enthusiastically."
David Atkinson

"The contributors should be applauded loudly. They have condensed often arcane and bewildering terminology into easily understandable terms . . . [with] sound, no-nonsense scholarship and laudatory lack of trendism."
Philosophy & Religion

"Recommended for students, teachers and ministers. . . . A worthy addition to any library."
Christian Scholars Review

"This is the best one-volume dictionary of Christian theology I have read. The student wishing to possess a comprehensive and authoritative reference work on the broad themes of Christian thought, both past and present, could do no better than to add this work to his or her shelves."
Alister McGrath

"The values of this work are many. The philosophical articles are most helpful, as are the ones on different heresies which have plagued the Church for the past two thousand years. The text is readable, and even a casual perusal of this work will enrich the reader's understanding of his/her heritage."
Journal of Psychology and Theology

"The editors have assembled some of the best minds in world evangelicalism to interpret key terms, figures and movements in historic Christianity and 20th-century theological debate. . . A valuable resource for an . . . ecumenical readership."
Gabriel Fackre

"It is gratifying to observe that important issues of the Third World . . . are sympathetically handled. The NDOT is a mine of information."
P. T. O'Brien
