This Handbook offers 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). Approaching from various angles theology from Bossuet to Jonathan Edwards, the volume will review the major forms of early modern theology (scholastic, including Cartesian scholasticism; Enlightenment; early Romanticism, etc.); sketch the teachings, with main developments, on major theological topics; introduce the principal practitioners of each kind of theology and delineate their particular theological contributions and emphases; and depict the engagement by early modern theologians with various other philosophical, social, and religious currents.
