"In God and Faith: Thinking About God with Keith Ward, Ian S. Markham, editor and contributor, and co-editor J. D. Bauman have gathered a distinguished team of essayists who not only pay tribute to Ward, perhaps one of the most prolific Anglican philosophical theologians of our era, but leave their own mark as each substantially develops an aspect of the vast range of Ward's scholarly work. One senses in Ward a moral obligation in the philosophical approach to God, world and other selves: 'Abstract arguments about possibility, mind, and value are inescapable within theology as soon as we try to work out how Jesus is related to God, or how we can be related to Jesus today.' This is an ideal classroom volume for theological students."
--Mark Richardson, retired president, Church Divinity School of the Pacific

"For students in theology and philosophy of religion this book will prove an important resource. Comprehensive in scale, dialogical in nature, it dives deep into the contemporary debates that animate today's scholarship. Ward's imaginative and original perspective comes alive in this accessible text."
--Joshua Daniel, senior associate rector, St. Columba's Episcopal Church

"This well-constructed and accessible volume gives an attractive introduction to the important and wide-ranging thought of the Anglican philosophical theologian Keith Ward. At the same time, it gives Ward the opportunity to respond incisively to each of his own 'responders.' The result is a wonderfully attractive discussion document which will prove a fine teaching tool for all theological students and seminarians."
--Sarah Coakley, professor emerita of divinity, University of Cambridge
