The Blackwell Companion to Nineteenth-Century Theology

"As with all the other volumes in the Blackwell series, this is as scholarly work of high quality and considerable depth . . . This book is a valuable contribution to the work of scholars studying trends in thought in the nineteenth-century." (Reference Reviews, 2011)

"This is a magnificent book . . . Within the confines of the space available, the essays are as definitive and comprehensive as they can be, written in many cases by the foremost scholars working on the thinker or theme . . .This, then, is a book to be savoured, wrestled with, and actively used over a long period of time. Let us hope the paperback comes soon. " (Theology, 1 June 2011)

 

"An excellent collection of essays on a century crucial for modern theological, religious and anti-religious thought."
—Janet Martin Soskice, University of Cambridge

"This latest contribution to the Blackwell Companions to Religion masterfully summarizes the major trends in Christian theology during the enormously fertile period stretching from the Enlightenment to the Social Gospel and Modernism. An invaluable reference work that tracks developments across confessions and continents, this volume gives the lie to facile generalizations about nineteenth-century theology by illustrating the extraordinary range and depth of Christian thought through a tumultuous era that was in many respects the crucible for our own."
—Ian A McFarland, Emory University
