  An introduction to the main Christian theologies of the 20th century, combining discussion of these movements with analyses of the thought of particular theologians. Each chapter is written by a leading modern theologian. In so doing, the contributors also aim to further the critical debates surrounding the various contemporary theologies. This volume widens the scope to include discussion of the major theologies current in Britain and the USA, and the new challenges presented by Latin American, Asian, black and feminist theologies. A final section discusses the influence of ecumenical theology and the theology of religions.
