Title: Solid Scholarship from Placher
Review: This companion volume to William Placher'sA History of Christian Theology: An Introductionis a nice, concise collection of primary texts from the history of the Christian church. Placher's selections are strongest in their variety: he really has a diverse group of authors and touches on an excellent amount of ideologies through the primary texts. His weakness is in the amount of each text he provides. While it would be difficult to really put an adequate amount of all of the sources he has, there are some seminal works that lack the necessary amount of the primary source.Placher does provide well written summaries and introductions to each of the sources. All in all, a great anthology of Christian theological history.
