Modern Christian Thought, Volume 1

This widely acclaimed introduction to modern Christian thought, formerly published by Prentice Hall, provides full, scholarly accounts of the major movements and thinkers, theologians, and philosophers in the Christian tradition since the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, together with solid historical background and critical assessments.

"Livingston's Modern Christian Thought has set the standard in the field since it was originally published. The two-volume second edition, which includes several new chapters, is quite simply the best treatment of modern theology that I know, and it is ideally organized for classroom use."
— Garrett Green
Professor of Religious Studies Connecticut College

"Professor Livingston's two-volume history of modern Christian thought is a remarkable achievement. At once thorough, succinct, eminently readable, and rooted in primary sources, they guide students and professors alike through perhaps the most difficult period in the entire history of theology with a deftness and sureness of expression that gives dedicated readers confidence that they are coming away with an authoritative grasp."
