In Making Sense of Mystery, John Markey presents an accessible and engaging introduction to the discipline of theology. Also an invitation to more seasoned scholars to consider their own operative approaches, the book is clearly written, comprehensive, and conversant with major streams of theological scholarship. With easy-to-digest examples, questions for discussion and ongoing exploration, and up-to-date resources for further reading, this book is designed for the classroom. Yet it also implicitly challenges narrow approaches to theology that overlook the variety of sources and methods drawn upon by the discipline.
