"So many Christians today yearn to practice a faith that matters, a faith that is rooted in context and in the dream of God, a faith that changes lives and changes the world. Laurie Green answers that cry in this powerhouse of a book. He moves beyond ivory tower God-talk, mines decades of local and global ministry experience, and provides ordinary Christians with the tools to do theology as a way of life. If we're going to become the compassionate, hopeful people of God for a fast-changing, hurting world, we need wise and courageous companions like Green. We need this book." - www.thecrossingboston.org

"Now a bishop in the Church of England, Green wrote the first edition in 1989 drawing on his 20 years of ordained ministry in Birmingham and his work with an educational psychologist. Writing for lay readers as well as seminary students, he describes a style of theology that pays close attention to the context. Central to his approach are the four phases of starting from experience, exploring, reflecting, and responding. Other topics include transforming theology, challenging implications, and other styles of theologizing." - BOOK NEWS, Inc.

"A practical book, accessible and direct... a significant resource for all those engaged in leadership and learning, lay and ordained, within the community of faith." - Theological Book Review

"In reading the new edition of Laurie Green's "Let's Do Theology", I had three reactions again and again. I wished I had known about the first edition of this excellent resource over the previous twenty years, because I would have used it in many settings. Every seminarian should engage with this book, so they can bring this clear-minded and warm-hearted approach to theology to their local congregations in the coming generations." - brianmclaren.net
