A good, interesting and very thorough introduction to theology. Though I'm not going to lie - certain chapters made me realize why I'm not the philosopher in my family! Despite the engaging writing it can still be a dense work (honestly, as it should be) and certain sections got a bit mind-bendingly heavy for me.

I am, however, glad I read it and wouldn't mind dipping into some aspects of theology in more detail.
