Review
"An excellent textbook overview of the theology of our time ... comprehensive, clearly written, fair and most informative." Journal of Religion (of the first edition)
"A distinguished and outstanding work." Theology (of the first edition)
"The coverage provided is good, with no significant gaps evident." Reformed Theological Journal
"The Modern Theologians is a unique and valuable introduction to Christian theology. [...] It is to be warmly commended as a fresh resource for anyone seeking a path into the breadth and rigours of theological conversation today, and over the past one hundred years." Revd Dr Simon Oliver, University of Wales Lampeter, Church Times
"This book represents exceptional value for money, all too rare in theological publishing. We are in the editors′ debt. Buy it, read it, and be lured onto new theological ground. I hope its spine is up to the use it will no doubt get." Philip McCosker, Reviews in Religion and Theology, 13:2
“A valuable resource for anyone trying to find an entry point into understanding the cacophony of modern theologies.”

Format:Paperback
This is probably best introduction in modern Christian theology I have ever read. Some essays can be difficult for begginers so I reccomend The Blackweil Companion to Modern Theology for some who first time read about modern theology (or Alister McGrath Christian Theology An Introduciont or Historical Theology: An Introduction). For others who have basic knowledge on Christian theology this volume can be very helpfull. I like mostly essasy by Karen Kilby about Karl Rahner and essays about Tillich and Thomas F. Torrence. Chapter about relation beetwen science and religion is written by Philip Clayton (physican sciences). This chapter is good but I think to fragmentent. Some general approach can be much more adequate. Someone with specific theological interest can notice that there are no chapter about some important Roman Catholic theologians (like Yves Congar, Chonu or Kung, also there isn't anything on Roman Carholic mariology) but I must notice that this is general introducion. Great book for everyone interested in Christian thought.
Format:Paperback
Can be a bit hard going at times but useful to use alongside other theologians to get differing views and round out your understanding.

solid info but...
19 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback
I perused this book at my campus bookstore, and liked what bits and pieces I read, so I ordered it through Amazon. This book is very informative, with solid information on the theologians presented...but the 1st chapter of the book is on Karl Barth, a good place to start with regards to chronology, but the author of the first chapter, in attempting to summarize the depth that is Barth's Church Dogmatics, only succeeded in presenting a confusing rabble of half-explanations with slight brushstrokes of worthwhile analogy and pedagogy. As a result, I'm scarcely into the 2nd chapter...the first simply exhausted me. Thus, I suggest using this book more as reference tool for individual theologians assertions...not as a read through familiarizer per-se.
