About the Author :
Duncan B. Forrester is Emeritus Professor of Christian Ethics and Practical Theology in the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

Review :
'For over two decades Professor Forrester has been at the heart of shaping practical theology at Edinburgh University. A number of passions have been central to his task: ecumenism, public theology, justice and poverty in Britain and overseas. These passions appear on almost every page of this splendid and challenging collection of studies. Here are the mature judgments of a theologian and churchperson who really cares.' Professor Robin Gill, University of Kent at Canterbury 'The international ferment over the birth of a new practical theology will be greatly enriched by Truthful Action. We have needed a clear and forceful model of practical theology that is simultaneously confessional, ecclesial, and public - one that brings Barth and MacIntyre into the centre of the world practical theology discussion. Duncan Forrester's new book answers this need.' Professor Don Browning, University of Chicago "This is a mature book by a well-read and devout Christian. His passion for learning and for the gospel are evident throughout...Duncan Forrester has given us serious theology and a way of engagement with society. I warmly recommend it."--Theology, Sept/Oct 2001 "readers will discover here what a powerful relevant and exciting thing (practical) theology is. A must, for ministers and all who want their Christian faith to have some relevance to the world in which they live."--The Expository Times, September 2001 "Here is a book from a practical theologian of an international standing, offering one of the most thoughtful explorations of practice as truthful action in recent years." --Theological Book Review Feed the Minds "[Forrester's] explorations are wide, insightful, clarifying, and, I believe, will lead to truthful action....excellent resource for graduate and seminary courses in practical theology."--Gaile M. Pohlhaus, Theological Studies, March 2003
