"Hans Schwarz's Theology in a Global Context is the most
comprehensive survey of theology and related literature during the
last two hundred years. As such, it is a remarkable achievement.
One of the book's advantages is that it presents all of the
individual theologians in their social and cultural setting along
with paying attention to their personal biographies. This book will
prove helpful to those who study the course of modern theology in
the last centuries." Kurt Anders Richardson
-- McMaster University
"Better than any other single volume, Theology in a Global Context
balances a highly competent presentation and analysis of the recent
theological landscape and constructs an engaging narrative for its
subjects. Schwarz's historical theological judgments in the
prioritizing of issues and his abilities in clarifying complex
debates of both the modern past and the constructive task are
likely without peer. Students and educators will now benefit from
this extraordinary achievement." Reviews in Religion & Theology
"I caught again the sense of excitement that first drew me to
[theology, ] was impressed by Schwarz's 'topography', and learned
much from his descriptions of noted thinkers. I shall most
definitely recommend it to students as one of the best, if not the
best, 'travel book(s)' on the market." Lutheran Quarterly
"A comprehensive yet remarkably accessible survey of theological
inquiry over the last two hundred years. Few contemporary
theologians would be able to achieve this work with [Schwarz's]
clarity, winsomeness, and thoroughness."
