CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY

and present. Education and illumination are the abundant fruits of this
massive, well-organized text, which is sure to appeal to a wide range of
Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox audiences. For this we are indebted
to the author.”
Dennis Ngien, Professor of Systematic Theology, Tyndale University College and Seminary, Toronto, Canada

sheer comprehensiveness, clarity, and coherence, Alister McGrath has
produced the definitive textbook. Always accurate and engaging, students
are gently introduced to the gift of Theology in a memorable way.”
Ian S. Markham, Dean and President of Virginia Theological Seminary

Reformation Thought: An Introduction is a clear, engaging, and accessible introduction to the European Reformation of the sixteenth century. Written for readers with little to no knowledge of Christian theology or history, this indispensable guide surveys the ideas of the prominent thought leaders of the period, as well as its many movements, including Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anabaptism, and the Catholic and English Reformations.

A wealth of pedagogical features—including illustrations, updated bibliographies, a glossary, a chronology of political and historical ideas, and several appendices—supplement McGrath’s clear explanations.
