Recenzje

Theology is not intended to be only a conversation for specialists. If it is, as The Oxford Handbook of Sacramental Theology reveals, meant to help interpret, illuminate, and guide the church's life together. May preachers of every theological stripe embrace this way of thinking about how theology works in the church... Theology Forum
