Editorial Reviews

"A very interesting and original tour through the history of Christian thought, based on extensive use of primary and secondary sources. I have never before seen a work quite of this kind...It promises to be a book with which other scholars will want to interact and it will stimulate lines of research, particularly in the field of modern theology." - Maurice Dowling, Lecturer, Irish Baptist College; member of the Institute of Theology, Queen's University, Belfast, UK
