Reviews&"Writing Theology Well is the creative fruit of just such empathy and astute attention. It is an ambitious book that condenses an entire, highly interactive course into a single volume. The result is an excellent reference for all professors of theology and religion who want to help their students write well....The text welcomes readers into a conversation about and a practice of theological writing. It succeeds in conveying that theological writing is not something in which theological students engage, and mercifully escape when theological education is over, but rather that in doing theological writing students are joining a much larger community of reflection, research, analysis, persuasion, and proclamation...Yaghjian succeeds in tying together three important dimensions of learning to write all kinds of theology.... This book is an excellent resource for faculty who teach courses dedicated to theological writing. It is so well organized and complete that is of value to any faculty member, regardless of theological discipline, who wants to do a better job of describing assignments, procedures, and criteria for writing in a particular theological mode. New faculty especially may find it helpful because the volume renders explicit what too often is implicit. Faculty can refine their thinking about theological writing by engaging this text, even if they come to it already holding strong convictions about theological writing....The text is an excellent choice for beginning courses in theological writing, or for any integrated introductory course in he seminary curriculum.&" - Teaching Theology and Religion, "Designed for students, this appealing volume offers the most comprehensive guide to theological writing currently available. Because theology and biblical studies are not often heralded for elegant-or clear-writing, the sheer appearance of this book should be celebrated." �David H.
