Recenzje

In short, although an increasing number of theological readers have been produced in recent years, at this time The Modern Theologians Reader is the clear choice for those who are engaged with this time period. Some will undoubtedly wish that this or that text had been omitted or added; nonetheless, all should be able to agree that Ford and Higton have effectively addressed the needs of most modern Christian theology teachers.   (Reviews in Religion & Theology, 3 July 2013)

For a course on modern theology, this reader will soon become standard fare.   (Religious Studies Review, 7 March 2013)

This is a cornucopia of very well judged selections from significant and usually interesting theologians mostly Christian, from the early 20^th Century.   (Regent′s Reviews, 1 April 2012)

The Modern Theologians Reader is a unique text providing a collection of the key readings on all the major topics which have shaped modern theology. Each reading is accompanied by an introduction and helpful annotations to guide students through the relevance and importance of each extract. It can be used on its own, or an accompaniment to the third edition of the highly successful textbook, The Modern Theologians. The volume begins with a selection of the original writings of such 20th–century luminaries as Barth, Bonhoeffer, Lubac, Rahner, Balthasar, as well as many others. Other sections feature the seminal texts that influenced Christian theology in areas such as modernity, science, and global engagements. Seminal writings on theology between faiths –– including Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam –– are also presented, as well as discussions on theology and the visual arts, music, and film. The comprehensive series of original extracts allows the reader to develop their own theological judgments, and follow the development of the important debates that have shaped modern theology.
