With over 550 entries ranging from Abba to Zwingli composed by leading contemporary theologians from around the world, The Cambridge Dictionary of Christian Theology represents a fresh, ecumenical approach to theological reference.

The work as a whole provides an introduction to the defining topics in Christian thought and is an essential reference point for student and scholars.
