Product Description
This widely acclaimed introduction to modern Christian thought, formerly published by Prentice Hall, provides full, scholarly accounts of the major movements and thinkers, theologians and philosophers in the Christian tradition since the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, together with solid historical background and critical assessments. This second edition deals with the entire modern period, in both Europe and America, and is the first to include extensive treatment of modern Catholic thinkers, Evangelical thought, and Black and Womanist theology
Reader ReviewsWhile this book is certainly formatted in a way that screams "textbook!", I believe that the articles inside are beneficial to anyone who desires to expand his or her knowledge of modern theologians and theological schools of thought. A well-edited and approachable work, "Modern Christian Thought" should grace the bookshelf of any student of theology. While it is not without its weak points (perhaps a more in-depth presentation of postmodernity and the subsequent development of postmoden and postcolonial theory would appropriately update this volume), overall this is both a nicely priced and decently thorough text. I would highly recommend this book to both the pedestrian theological inquirer as well as the serious student of theology.
