Biographical Dictionary of Christian Theologians

This is a paperback edition of a dictionary first published in 2000. It is a straight reprint with no additions or corrections. “Its goal is to provide readers with a concise introduction to the lives and thought of more than 450 Christian theologians”, through articles which “are meant to be descriptive rather than argumentative or polemical”. The entries combine biographical information with summaries of theological thought. The biographical information provided is very basic, just enough to inform the account of the thinkers’ development. The emphasis is very much on the theology. Entries vary in length from 250 to 2,000 words....
