THE material in Christian Doctrine: A reader is
arranged in nine chapters, each with an introductory essay and
looking at a traditional aspect of doctrine. The ed-itors, Lindsey
Hall, Murray Rae, and Stephen Holmes, have chosen passages from a
range of authors, ancient and modern (SCM Press £35
(£31.50); 978-0-334-04345-4).
If God made everything, who made God? In And Man Created
God, Robert Banks shows how the arguments have changed,
and, with reference to the particular approaches of Feuerbach,
Marx, Freud, and Fromm, offers a critique of past theories, and
looks at what believers and unbelievers can learn from the debate
(Lion, £8.99 (£8.10); 978-0-7459-5543-8).
Trilogy on Faith and Happiness brings together
St Augustine's The Happy Life, Faith in the Unseen, and
The Advantage of Believing. The first is translated and
introduced by Roland Teske; the second is translated by Michael
Campbell; and the third by Ray Kearney. Notes for the latter two
are by Michael Fiedrowicz (New City Press, £10.95 (£9.85);
978-1-56548-359-0).
Another trilogy is introduced by Aidan Nichols in A Key
to Balthasar. Using Balthasar's The Glory of the
Lord, Theo-drama, and Theo-logic, Nichols
concentrates on the three aspects of being which are the foundation
of this work: beauty, goodness, and truth (Darton, Longman &
Todd, £12.99 (£11.70); 978-0-232-52858-9).
