Accessibly structured into four sections covering the Patristic period, the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the reformation and post-reformation eras, and the modern period spanning 1750 to the present day, addressing the key issues and people in each. Includes case studies and primary readings at the end of each section, alongside comprehensive glossaries of key theologians, developments, and terminology."--Publisher's description.
