Book Review: The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern Theology, 1600–1800

Book Review: The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern Theology, 1600–1800 ATR/100.2 430 Anglican Theological Review The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern Theology, 1600–1800. Edited by Ulrich L.

The early modern period is a growing area of interest for historians, and particularly for historians of religion. It was a time when theological debate was still shaping how future camps would be divided. Confessions of faith became a prominent feature of church life and helped express the increasing clarity of the issues that separated Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Reformed, and at times even radical sects. The growing body of literature on this pe- riod is deeply helpful as Christians look back and attempt to understand the origins of their tradition, but the problem that accompanies a new wealth of resources is that it can be difficult to know where to begin and how to engage these publications. The new Oxford Handbook of Early Modern Theology is exactly the resource to fill that gap. The book is divided into three parts that address contextual matters, theological topics themselves, and the engagement between Christian the- ology and its dialogue partners, such as other religions http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Anglican Theological Review SAGE

Abstract

ATR/100.2 430 Anglican Theological Review The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern Theology, 1600–1800. Edited by Ulrich L. Lehner, Richard A. Muller, and A. G. Roeber. Ox- ford: Oxford University Press, 2016. xv + 668 pp. $150.00 (cloth). The early modern period is a growing area of interest for historians, and particularly for historians of religion. It was a time when theological debate was still shaping how future camps would be divided. Confessions of faith became a prominent feature of church life and helped express the increasing clarity of the issues that separated Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Reformed, and at times even radical sects. The growing body of literature on this pe- riod is deeply helpful as Christians look back and attempt to understand the origins of their tradition, but the problem that accompanies a new wealth of resources is that it can be difficult to know where to begin and how to engage these publications. The new Oxford Handbook of Early Modern Theology is exactly the resource to fill that gap. The book is divided into three parts that address contextual matters, theological topics themselves, and the engagement between Christian the- ology and its dialogue partners, such as other religions
