GoodBookStall Review:
The ‘101’ of the title does not mean ‘a lot’, i.e. a daunting quantity, but rather a specific number of entries which pre-determined the size and scope of their dictionary. The authors therefore made a selection of terms which they felt would assist theologians, and have tried to do what the books title required. They have tried to be fair to authors spread over the last two and a half millennia, and at the same time to address contemporary philosophical debate where this is relevant. Plato and Augustine find a place with Deconstruction and Feminism/Feminist Philosophy, in this stimulating guide.
