Summary: Written by two philosophers and a theologian, this book provides easy access to key terms in philosophy and how they are understood and used in theology.

The result is a unique volume that clearly shows the interplay of these disciplines and how theology has been influenced by the language and vocabulary of philosophy.--Publisher
