Description: The Theological Garden of the Twentieth century is a variegated spectacle of blooms - more so perhaps than any previous Christian century. As the century approaches its close, the time is right for surveying, describing, evaluating, and even projecting what seeds might germinate, grow and blossom in the soil of a new millennium. Stanley Grenz and Roger Olson have written a sympathetic guide and critical assessment of the significant theologians and theologies of the twentieth century. Beginning with the Enlightenment and the foundations of twentieth-century theology in Kant, Schleiermacher, Hegel and Ritschl, the giants in twentieth-century theology are then brought up for review: Barth, Bultmann, Brunner, Tillich, Niebuhr, Rahner, Kung, Moltmann and Pannenberg. In addition, the influential movements of radical, process, liberation, Black, feminist, narrative and evangelical theology come under scrutiny and critical evaluation.
