Alister McGrath (Ph.D.) is a scholar and writer who is presently Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at Oxford University. After his initial studies in natural science at Oxford, taking a doctorate in molecular biophysics under the supervision of Prof Sir George Radda, McGrath moved into the field of Christian theology. He was Oxford’s Professor of Historical Theology from 1999 to 2008. He then moved to King’s College London as Professor of Theology, Ministry, and Education, before returning to Oxford as Idreos Professor in 2014. He also served as Gresham Professor of Divinity, a position established in 1597, from 2015-18. He retired in September 2022.
He is best known for his definitive and widely used textbooks on Christian theology and his authoritative biography of C. S. Lewis. As a former atheist, McGrath is fascinated by the interaction of faith, science, and atheism, and writes regularly on these themes. McGrath was born in Belfast in 1953, and holds both Irish and British citizenship. He lives in the Cotswolds near Oxford.

In this 3rd book (though each book is quite a short read) in his "Christian Belief for Everyone", McGrath uses the Christian Creeds (primarily Apostles' and Nicene) as the starting platform for discussion of the historical Jesus of Nazareth being our Lord and Saviour. He includes not only coverage of the Historical Jesus, but a marvellous yet compact chapter on the Incarnation. Plus in these just over 100 pages you get a nice overview of what the Atonement is all about. McGrath is a good communicator who draws heavily on Scripture, English Literature, C.S. Lewis and Martin Luther, so that he fully engages your imagination as well as as your intellect as you read. If you want a short, easy-to-read book for an introduction to Christology then this is it! Highly recommended.
