S. Lewis, James Cone, and Rosemary Radford Reuther O Accessibly structured around five periods: early centuries, middle ages, reformation period, the Enlightenment, and the twentieth-century to the present O Provides profiles of key Catholic, protestant, evangelical, and progressive theologians O Explains the technical details of theology in accurate and accessible ways, and includes a variety of student aids, including a timeline to orientate the reader, reading lists, and a glossary of key terms
