"In my opinion, this book's readability is itsgreatest strength because here it comes closest to serving hispurpose: to stimulate readers to seek wisdom and thereby assistthem in shaping not only their personal lives butsociety."

(Evangelical Quarterly, 3 July2012)
"Thus far, the volume is of general interest, but therefollows two more specialist chapters which cover academic teaching,curriculum shaping and funding and then the process of learning tobe a theologian."

(Religion &Theology, 1 August 2012)
"This thoughtful and encouraging book forms part of a newseries addressing contemporary debates and controversies in thehumanities and social sciences . . . The book deserves to be readprayerfully and I hope it will find its way into the hands of thosetraining for ministry as well as parish clergy andcongregationalleaders."

(Theology, 1 November 2011)
"Ford's central achievement, then, is his insistenceon a model of theology that bears witness to the unity, diversity,and vibrancy of twenty-first century Christianity." (The Furrow, 1 September 2012)"The Future of Christian Theology is a book which is at once asbold and exciting as it is sensitive and wise. . . The book marksthe very best of what that series might provide: written inexceptionally clear and accessible prose, it is neverthelessprofound and deep. . . I cannot imagine any theologian or churchperson who would not find the reading of this book a beneficialenterprise. It is a must for all who care about the health oftheology, the Church and - even more broadly - the world of whichthey are a part."

(Church Times, 23 September 2011)
"This book represents a mature summary of his academic andinstitutional vision."

(The ChristianCentury, 18 April 2011)
"Ford writes exegesis that does more than illustrate; it leads .. . It's really, really good . . . Few theologians writing todayare better positioned to see where theology needs to stay the sameand where it needs to change for a new century."

(Theological Book Review, 2011)
"He also writes beautifully in a book that sparkles withinsights and that is attentive to the diversity of settings andmedia in which theology is articulated. This work is eloquent,fluent and vibrant; it draws upon deep scholarship, carriedlightly; it moves along at a brisk pace with an exhilarating tone,one that appreciates the rich variety within Christianity and itcombines a serious concern for Christian integrity with a generousinclusivity towards and a desire to collaborate with and learn frompeople of other faiths."

(Methodist Recorder,21 July 2011)
"The Future of Christian Theology by Prof David Ford ofCambridge (Wiley-Blackwell, £50) is another feast of goodthings: a book to widen horizons and deepen spirituality . . .So,two splendid books to feed minds and hearts."

(The Tablet, 23 April 2011)
"In the meantime, Ford's timely, stylish and passionatemanifesto gives theologians plenty of work to be getting on with."

--Iain Torrance, President of Princeton TheologicalSeminary
"This is, quite simply, a wonderful book. It's vintage David Ford,yet all new - providing an ever deeper integration of themes whichis profoundly creative and invites the reader to engage and makefresh connections. David Ford more successfully than any othertheologian I know, bridges the concerns of the academy and those ofthe worshipping communities."

--David H. Kelsey, Weigle Professor Emeritus ofTheology, Yale Divinity School
"David Ford's The Future of Christian Theology is a manifestofor a theology adequate to its new context in the twenty-firstcentury. It's a bold, powerful and provocative vision."
