Reviews
An accessible and thought-provoking way into the work of some of the most influential Christian thinkers from the first century AD to the present day. Clearly written, it provides succinct and lively, but not oversimplified, accounts of the thinkers discussed. <br>-Rachel Muers, University of Exeter <br> The book's strength is its accessible format and focus, which doesn't require any background knowledge. One usually doesn't get this kind of compact, introductory information in one place. An extremely handy reference for public and academic libraries. <br>-Library Journal <br>

One usually doesn't get this kind of compact, introductory information in one place.' - Library Journal 'Selecting just 50 from among all the Christian thinkers who lived over the last two millennia is a difficult task... McEnhill and Newlands have made excellent choices in this book.' - Library Journal"
