Theology: A Very Short Introduction by David F. Ford This introduction to theology provides a balanced survey of the central questions of faith, exploring the principles underlying religious belief and the challenges posed by modern perspectives.

Ford's approach is designed to be accessible to both believers and non-believers, making this a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the core issues in contemporary theology. The new edition includes updates on key areas, including the intersection of faith and science, the impact of globalization and technology on theology, and the relationships between different faith traditions. Oxford's Very Short Introductions series offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects, providing a readable evolution of the subject in question and demonstrating how it has developed and influenced society.
