Summary: Competent and clear introduction

This book provides a competent and clear introduction to the main periods of Protestant Theology. Early chapters deal with Luther and Calvin, then moves through the English Reformation, the formation and development of Liberal Theology, to the directions of recent Protestant Thought. Thus, the book is a presentation of Protestant Christinity that holds to the belief that the nature and meaning of Protestantism can best be understood in light of studying the historical development of the Protestant movement.

Excellent resource for the pastor, theologian, historian or seminary student.

Excellent for the serious lay person, who has some background in Protestant studies. It is clear and understandable, but it is not simplistic.
