T&T Clark Reader in John Webster starts with a biographical, chronological and topical survey of Websters theological development. It notes his shifting conversation partners and his abiding theological principles. The editor places the essays in context with short introductions, as well as editorial footnotes clarifying key terms, historical or exegetical arguments or polemical emphases. This is an essential introduction to Websters work and his impact on classical and contemporary theology.

Reviews

This volume is a good, perhaps ideal, introduction to Webster ... Allen has collected an illuminating group of essays that aptly present Websters profound and comprehensive theology, which, because of the very nature of his thought, is not easy to summarize. The dogmatically inclined reader will enjoy this relatively brief but deep tour of Websters teaching on the source, life, contexts, tasks, centers, and ends of the science of Christian dogmatics. * Reading Religion *
