John Markey, a widely respected systematic theologian in the United States, has given us a terrific primer on how to think theologically. A perfectly framed and highly readable introduction for college students, Making Sense of the Mystery invites students to understand theology, its relation to reason, its sources, and its methodology. Drawing on important philosophers and theologians, past and present, Markey skillfully guides the reader through all the primary issues that make theology competent, accountable, and, most importantly, relevant.
