The Modern Theologians Reader is a unique text providing a collection of the key readings on all the major topics which have shaped modern theology. Each reading is accompanied by an introduction and helpful annotations to guide students through the relevance and importance of each extract. It can be used on its own, or an accompaniment to the third edition of the highly successful textbook, The Modern Theologians. The volume begins with a selection of the original writings of such 20th-century luminaries as Barth, Bonhoeffer, Lubac, Rahner, Balthasar, as well as many others. Other sections feature the seminal texts that influenced Christian theology in areas such as modernity, science, and global engagements. Seminal writings on theology between faiths -- including Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam -- are also presented, as well as discussions on theology and the visual arts, music, and film. The comprehensive series of original extracts allows the reader to develop their own theological judgments, and follow the development of the important debates that have shaped modern theology.
