This book offers a fresh and up-to-date introduction to modern Christian theology. The -long nineteenth century- saw enormous transformations of theology, and of thought about religion, that shaped the way both Christianity and -religion- are understood today. Muers and Higton provide a lucid guide to the development of theology since 1789, giving students a critical understanding of their own -modern- assumptions, of the origins of the debates and the fields of study in which they are involved, and of major modern thinkers.
Modern Theology:
- introduces the context and work of a selection of major nineteenth-century thinkers who decisively affected the shape of modern theology
- presents key debates and issues that have their roots in the nineteenth century but are also central to the study of twentieth- and twenty-first-century theology
- includes exercises and study materials that explicitly focus on the development of core academic skills.</
