William C. Placher and Derek Nelson compile significant passages written

by the most important Christian thinkers, from the early church through the Middle

Ages, and up to the beginning of the sixteenth century. Illustrating the major

theologians, controversies, and schools of thought, Readings in the History

of Christian Theology is an essential companion to the study of church

history and historical theology. Excerpts are preceded by the editors’

introductions, allowing the book to stand alone as a coherent history. This revised

edition expands the work’s scope with the addition of many new texts, especially

those from the voices of women and others who have been marginalized from the

theological tradition. This valuable resource brings together the writings of major

theologians from the church’s history for a new generation of students.
