The Modern Theologians is a two–volume introduction to the main Christian theologies of the twentieth century, combining discussion of these movements with analyses of the thought of particular theologians.
Each chapter is written by a leading modern theologian based in Europe or North America, and aims to give a clear picture of a particular theological movement or individual theologian. In so doing, the contributors also aim to further the critical debates surrounding the various contemporary theologians.
This first volume begins with an introduction to the field of modern theology, before discussing the work of such theologians as Barth, Bonhoeffer, Bultmann, Tillich, Schillebeeckx, Rahner, Pannenberg and Moltmann, amongst others.
