'Moves just fast enough to be interesting and just slow enough to
be accurate' -- Strait Magazine
'This is a book which will prove exceptionally useful, not only to
students, but to all those Christians...who know many of the names
of the great Christian thinkers of past and present, but, in many
cases, have only the vaguest impression of what they actually
thought. Here they can find a succinct, accurate, readily
intelligible and interesting account of the thought of Cyril of
Alexandria, John Wyclif, Jonathan Edwards, Reinhold Niebuhr, Hans
Küng, and 113 others, mostly individual theologians, but including
also some creeds, confessions and councils. Each period has a brief
scene-setting introduction, and each thinker is not only described
but also quoted - a valuable feature because even a brief paragraph
gives the reader something of the 'flavour' of the man's work'--
Richard Bauckham, Professor of New Testament, St Andrews
University, Scotland, in Third Way.
'This comprehensive survey, completely revised and expanded, offers
an ideal introduction to the thinkers and writers who have shaped
Christian history and Western culture, as well as providing an
insight into their major works.' Publishing News
