Theological Book Review

The Theological Book Review (tbr) is edited by Professor Kenneth Newport. The journal is designed to act as a means by which clear, concise and authoritative reviews of the very best theological scholarship can be made available, usually within 12 months of the book's appearance and often within 6, to a wide readership.

For thirteen years tbr was published three times a year, in March, June and October. From January 2002 it has been published in two larger editions in March and October. Back issues of previous numbers are available at £8.00 or US $12.00f each.
