"In contemporary society where fewer persons are biblically literate or versed in church creeds, Bradley Hanson has crafted an open and accessible Introduction to Christian Theology that does not require an extensive prior knowledge of the tradition. Not afraid of combining experience with doctrine, he meets the learners where they are, helping them to wrestle with their own issues and faith commitments."
— Letty M. Russell, Yale University Divinity School

"Bradley Hanson's work wears its learning lightly and its faith openly. Clearly, indeed, crisply written, Introduction to Christian Theology should find wide ecumenical acceptance among undergraduate teachers and their students. It would also be an excellent first text for those embarking on the study of theology in adult education settings."
— Lawrence S. Cunningham, University of Notre Dame
