Negative Positive
Title: A very useful introduction to Historical Theology. . .
Review: . . .useful for the scholar, the cleric, and the informed layman.This book is far less comprehensive than, say, the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, but has the advantage of being much less expensive, and much less daunting for the beginning student. The volume covers the major events and figures throughout the history of the Christian Church in an alphabetized dictionary format. The information presented is clear and concise without being minimalistic and the book is not particularly "weighted" toward a specific Christian tradition (thus minimizing polemic).This book would be a fine addition to a parish library.
