Readings in Christian Thought
Outline: Here in one book is the basic creative thinking in Christianity - represented by fifty definitive Christian writers. The selections accent the thinker's primary contribution rather than simply giving a sample of his though. Major determinative figures and ideas are represented with many minor yet intriguing excursions which add flavor and breadth. The editor, Hugh T. Kerr, has taught theology at Princeton Theological Seminary for 25 years and has been associated with Theology Today for 21 years, since 1950 as its editor. It is out of this background that this anthology of Christian doctrinal thought has come. The scope of the selections reflects the editor's experience and mature judgment as scholar, teacher, and editor. In the selection of texts Dr. Kerr has sought to get the best and most accessible in each case. The living ideas and essential themes have been judicially selected and carefully edited to provide a sense of unity and purpose to the whole sweep of Christian thought. Readings in Christian Thought is a compilation of beliefs and doctrines arranged according to history and individual theologians. Writings of the leading shapers of doctrine are offered chronologically with comments by the editor to place them in their broader context and point out their relevance. The whole range of Christian thought from the early Christian period to the present is covered.
