Reading Christian Theology in the Protestant Tradition offers a distinctive approach to the value of classic wortks through the lens of Protestantism. Protestant theology did not start with the Reformation, but built on the Mediaeval thought. Thus this book begins with the first Christian theologians, covering 2000 years of theological writing from the church fathers to Moltmann. Five major periods of church history are represented in 12 key works each, carefully explained and interpreted by an expert in the field. The focus lies not only on the context of the work itself but also on its reception and influence on the Protestant tradition.
