Zusatztext "Muers and Higton have managed to write a textbook that is both astoundingly comprehensive and thoroughly engaging. Often teachers of modern Christian thought feel the need to choose between historical context and theological content. With its artful juxtaposition of explanation! analysis! and reflection! Modern Theology manages to combine both without sacrificing the integrity of either. Not only will this book prove an invaluable asset in the classroom! but it is one of those all-too-rare texts that students will continue to consult long after the term has ended." - Ian A. McFarland! Candler School of Theology! Emory University! USA"Lucid! readable and reliable-- students of modern theology will find this an enormously useful guide." - Karen Kilby!
