ON GIANTS’ SHOULDERS
Introducing great theologians from Luther to Barth
By Michael Reeves. IVP. 171 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978 1 844 744 954
For a book about theologians and their works, this is a very readable and interesting paperback! It provides a reliable introduction to men who have, for better or for worse, substantially influenced the church’s thinking from the 16th century to the present day.
Each of the six chapters follows a similar pattern: an informative biographical sketch of the theologian; a survey of his major writings; guidance for further reading; and a timeline setting the person within his historical context.
