The long nineteenth century saw enormous transformations of theology, and of thought about religion, that shaped the way both Christianity and religion are understood today. Muers and Higton provide a lucid guide to the development of theology since 1789, giving students a critical understanding of their own modern assumptions, of the origins of the debates and the fields of study in which they are involved, and of major modern thinkers.\n\nModern Theology:\n\nintroduces the context and work of a selection of major nineteenth-century thinkers who decisively affected the shape of modern theology \npresents key debates and issues that have their roots in the nineteenth century but are also.
