A Cloud of Witnesses

By Joe M. Thomas

Book Overview

This interesting volume brings together a varied group of great theologians whose ideas have shaped and enriched the life and witness of the church. Dr. Thomas provides a readable exposition of their theological ideas by keeping an extraordinary practicality. I recommend this work for both clergy and laity. --The Right Reverend Dr. Bill Atwood, Bishop, International Diocese, Anglican Church in North America The range of doctrines Dr. Thomas deals with is important to all students of theology in their own intellectual preparation at seminaries. I concur with the author that theological task as primary concern of the church is extremely important to strengthen its spiritual vision in an increasingly secular society. I welcome this book. --Xavier Lakshmanan, PhD, Head of the Department of Theology & Ministry, Tabor College, NSW, Australia Dr. Thomas has been a contributor to our journal, Mission Today. As its editor, I have always welcomed his theological writings. His capacity for reflecting creatively on theological issues that matter today is commendable. His scholarly contributions have enriched our journal. I support this new book. --Fr. Dr. Paul Vadakumpadan, SDB, Professor, Systematic Theology, Sacred Heard College, Shilong, India In this collection of thoughtful, well-informed essays, Joe Thomas draws valuable insights from the work of a pleasingly broad range of well-known theologians. I recommend these very readable reflections to seminary students, and to anyone else interested in exploring theological responses to issues confronting the Church in the modern world. --Patricia Harrison, PhD, MDiv, ThM, MA, MSt, MEd St, Theological Educator, and Member Australian College of Educators
