Books by Maurice Wiles

'Maurice Wiles shows that it doesn't require a vast tome to present a penetrating challenge to traditional doctrinal positions... This book is important. It deserves to be read carefully and its challenge profoundly considered' (David Pailin in The Expository Times).

I have tried not merely to describe that faith, but to give some account of the grounds for my holding it. Despite the more personal approach, the book is still intended as a contribution to theology rather than as a piece of directly religious writing.

A paperback edition of this well-known study. Since its first publication in 1967 this book has aroused a lively debate among theologians and practicising clergy. The author had since returned to the discussion (The Remaking of Christian Doctrine, SCM Press 1974) and has stressed the contemporary need to define and develop Christian doctrine.
