This title offers a clear introduction to modern Christian theology (1789-present) and is accessible for undergraduates on a wide range of courses in theology and religious studies.

"I know of no other college course book which discusses a Jewish and Christian position on theological doctrine in one chapter in such a way that one can actually derive from its study a genuine comparative insight into what these two traditions stand for. This, to me, is the pioneering and perhaps the most significant attribute of this book. An additional virtue lies in the very fact that while it is as objective as a book of this sort can ever be, the fundamental religious conviction of the authors and their acceptance of the validity of other faiths, are clearly and encouragingly evident." -- Book jacket.
