T&T Clark Handbook of Modern Theology

Book excerpt: Offering readers a comprehensive research companion to study of modern theology, this handbook covers the major contexts, developmental trajectories, movements of thought, concerns, figures, and key texts which mark Christian theology from Enlightenment to the present. Two main parts focus on (I) the contexts, trajectories, movements, and concerns of modern theology, and (II) the major theologians of the modern period. A cross reference system connects related articles across both parts, to allow readers to move with ease between the articles. The book also has a glossary of key terms and concepts, and a bibliography of pertinent primary and secondary sources at the end of the volume. The list of contributors is diverse and ecumenial, bringing together essays by leading scholars in the field. This comprehensive handbook to modern theology is an indispensable resource for students and researchers.
