"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
