Early Modern Theology

Though the vast majority of chapters in this recent collection treat Western themes, there are at least two chapters in The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern Theology, 1600-1800 (Oxford UP, 2016), 688pp. explicitly treating Eastern Christian themes.

Edited by Ulrich L. Lehner, Richard A. Muller, and A.G. Roeber, this hefty collection was just officially released at the beginning of this month. About it the publisher tells us the following:

The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern Theology, 1600-1800 will offer a comprehensive and reliable introduction to Christian theological literature originating in Western Europe from, roughly, the end of the French Wars of Religion (1598) to the Congress of Vienna (1815).

Using a variety of approaches, the contributors examine theology spanning from Bossuet to Jonathan Edwards. They review the major forms of early modern theology, such as Cartesian scholasticism, Enlightenment, and early Romanticism; sketch the teachings of major theological concepts, along with important historical developments; introduce the principal practitioners of each kind of theology and delineate their particular theological contributions and stresses; and depict the engagement by early modern theologians with other religions or churches, such Judaism, Islam, and the eastern Church. 

Combining contributions from top scholars in the field, this will be an invaluable resource for understanding a complex and varied body of research.
