A History of TheologyDoubleday, 1968 - 312 páginas It is impossible to understand the crucial theological issues of today without some appreciation of the historical roots and development of theology itself. The author here presents a systematic history of theology which is unique in its scope, scholarship and readability. The work begins with a definition of the word "theology" from its early pre-Christian usage to its adoption by the Greek and Latin Christians and thereafter. The history of theology that follows is divided into six eras, each one treated thoroughly and with scholarly care. The author identifies and explains exactly what occurred in theological thought and writing; what events and sources shaped theological development in each era; who the theologians were and what contributions they made; and how new trends in theology took shape and were accepted. |
