The Edinburgh Critical History of Twentieth-Century Christian Theology

An innovative conceptual survey of Christian theology in the twentieth century in relation to key historical events and transformative developments in intellectual and ecclesial cultures

• A distinctive mapping of twentieth-century theology organised around crucial concepts rather than as a story of ‘great thinkers’
• A variegated account which is alert to the continuing formative interaction of theology with philosophy and wider scientific culture, as well as to the social and political changes which reshaped the context within which theology was done

This volume re-examines the history of twentieth-century Christian theology by tracing key concepts, problems and themes as they develop in context with new perspectives opened up by contemporary theology itself.
