This volume is intended as a companion to the story already told in Makers of Christian Theology in America by scholars who sketched intellectual portraits of 91 thinkers formative of Christian theological discussion. Emphasis is on theologians or theologies which reach considerably beyond their denominational, regional, ethnic, or 'school' support bases. The focus is on the traditions of scholarly Christian church theology. The four eras of Christian theology's history in America covered by these sixty readings are the colonial, early national, post-Civil War to World War I, and twentieth-century developments.
