This essential resource provides introductions to fifteen classics of 19th and 20th-century Protestant theology, ranging from Schleiermacher's The Christian Faith to Dorothy Sayers's The Mind of the Maker to Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics.
Each chapter gives a sketch of the author's life, traces the main themes of their classic work, and indicates the impact of each theologian and their approach. By including known works and introducing new contributions into the story, Vander Lugt expands standard notions of the theological canon and provides a refreshing retelling of how Protestant theology has developed over the last two hundred years.
Students of theology and Christian leaders will find this an accessible introduction to a rich and dense theological world.
