"Philosophical Theology: The Basics offers a clear and engaging introduction to philosophical theology. The authors guide the readers through the central questions, methods, and debates which have shaped Judeo-Christian thought, adopting an analytic approach, but gesturing towards wider horizons of thinking across different traditions and perspectives. The result is a text that will inspire as well as inform, inviting students to imagine how the field might expand, whilst giving them the tools to participate in this exciting journey. Essential reading for undergraduates and anyone seeking to grapple with the Big Questions." - Fiona Ellis, Professor of Philosophy, University of Nottingham
