"The most ambitious, profound and effective defence of nonfoundationalist critical realism by a theologian to date... a stellar work, McGrath's most constructive piece so far." Pro Ecclesia "McGrath thoughtfully critiques the Enlightenment by considering how its major thinkers failed to arrive at universal truth... This book is an impressive work, and can potentially have significant affects on Christian philosophy and apologetics...McGrath's book is certainly an important theological work." Philosophia Christi, vol. 5, no. 2, 2003"

This second volume in the series provides a detailed and thorough examination and defense of theological realism. Engaging critically with writers such as George Lindbeck and John Millbank, McGrath offers a sparkling and sophisticated affirmation of theological realism against its modern and postmodern critics. His refutation of the claim that the rise of philosophical nonfoundationalism entails the abandoning of any form of realism is of particular importance, as is his application of the highly influential form of 'critical realism' developed by Roy Bhaskar. Scientific Theology is a groundbreaking work of systematic theology in three volumes: Nature, Reality and Theory. Now available as a three volume set.
