This is an extraordinary set of essays to honour an extraordinary theologian. David Ferguson’s contribution to the field of Theology is almost incalculable. The list of eminent scholars in this volume, offering original and insightful contributions to the field, is indicative of the breadth and depth of both Ferguson’s influence and his vision. There are few people in our field more deserving of this honour, and few collections of essays more exciting than this book. This is a must for every theologian and a quality of work to which we should all aspire.
