  This reader is designed to make available some 280 seminal texts from the entire Christian tradition, from Ignatius of Antioch to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1994), cross-referenced and indexed for ease of reference. All readings prior to 1800 have been specially translated for the purposes of this reader, to ensure consistency of translation and ease of reading in English. Each chapter includes an introduction outlining the main historical and theological issues, and identifying key issues and thinkers. Each individual reading is prefaced by an introduction, alerting the reader to its importance and context, and followed where necessary by notes on translation and interpretation. The book adopts the same user-friendly format which was a feature of the author's earlier volume Christian Theology: An Introduction . The work includes a full glossary of theological terms and biographical details of theologians cited.
