John Macquarrie Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)
John Macquarrie was een theoloog en filosoof van Schotse afkomst, erkend als de meest vooraanstaande systematische theoloog van het anglicanisme in de tweede helft van de twintigste eeuw. Zijn filosofische benadering werd diepgaand beïnvloed door het existentialisme en de fenomenologie, wat zijn onderzoek naar de menselijke existentie en religieuze ervaring vormde. Macquarrie trachtte een brug te slaan tussen traditioneel theologisch denken en hedendaagse filosofische stromingen, waarmee hij een frisse kijk bood op geloof en de plaats ervan in de moderne wereld. Zijn werken worden gewaardeerd om hun intellectuele diepgang en hun streven om complexe spirituele concepten duidelijk te verwoorden.

There is little doubt that in our time the temporal and the historical have acquired a new importance in human thinking. There is a tendency to see everything as swept along in the flux of becoming. Nothing remains static, and even theologians have come to doubt whether such notions as 'immutability' and 'impassibility' are essential characteristics of God. The permanent framework has disappeared and even metaphysical systems are regarded as the products of history

Book by John Macquarrie
This text poses the question "what is theology?" and discusses issues of methodology, the relation of theology to other disciplines, and different theological perspectives. It investigates topics in philosophical theology (human existence; revelation; the language of theology; and Christianity and other religions), symbolic theology (triune God; doctrines of creation; the problem of evil and suffering; the person of Jesus Christ; and eschatology), and applied theology (the Church; ministry and mission; word and the sacraments; worship and prayer; and ethics).
