Reviews

In short, although an increasing number of theologicalreaders have been produced in recent years, at this time The ModernTheologians Reader is the clear choice for those who are engagedwith this time period. Some will undoubtedly wish that this or thattext had been omitted or added; nonetheless, all should be able toagree that Ford and Higton have effectively addressed the needs ofmost modern Christian theology teachers. (Reviewsin Religion & Theology, 3 July 2013) For a course on modern theology, this reader will soonbecome standard fare. (Religious StudiesReview, 7 March 2013) This is a cornucopia of very well judged selections fromsignificant and usually interesting theologians mostly Christian,from the early 20th Century. (Regent'sReviews, 1 April 2012)
