David Ford's Theology - A Very Short Introduction (#618) is just one of approximately 400 titles currently available in this Oxford University Press series. They are designed "...for anyone wanting a stimulating and accessible way in to a new subject." and this volume certainly delivers.
The Education for Ministry program run by the University of the South uses this book as a text for fourth year students. Not only does is provide the basics of what theology is (in this case, using Christianity as its model, but with principles which can be applied to studying the theology of any religion) it provides some of the basics that newcomers to this field would need to pursue their studies further, plus a list for further reading organized by topic. Though succinct, this text contains much food for thought.
