Frequently-Asked Questions in Christian Theology by The Revd Dr William H. Harrison

This is a practical 'on-the-bus' theology book that will answer all the questions that people want to ask about God, and evil, the Bible and the Church, but are too embarrassed to ask.The debate between the disciples of God and Dawkins depends upon a level of basic theological information which many people lack.
