Contemporary American Theologies

By Deane W. Ferm

An up-to-date book that surveys almost all of the contemporary schools of Christian thought in America...well structured and methodically developed, clearly written and easy to read.... Ferm does an excellent job of pointing out all the differences among the leading thinkers of each camp.... Ferm's greatest asset is his uncanny ability to synthesize these diverse theologies into a larger conceptual whole, without diminishing their distinctiveness.... A landmark of clarity. Richard Quebedeaux in 'The Christian Century' 'Contemporary American Theologies' assesses the most significant writers and books that make up evangelical, black, Roman Catholic, feminist, and liberation theologies.... Equally useful as an introduction or as a review. Marianne Sawicki in 'Commonweal'
