| Content | 10 chapters, plus a brief glossary and suggestions on how readers can take their study further. | 18 chapters enriched with glossary, discussion questions, and new audio and video materials | 4 chapters containing substantial new sections on theodicy, modern African Christologies, and postcolonial theology, while retaining the structure of the previous editions. | 12 chapters and 7 appendixes (incl. chronology, glossary of theological and historical terms, English translations of major primary sources and how to refer to them). | Concise, easy-to-digest chapters. Includes study questions, activities, further reading lists, full references, and links to video and audio resources developed by the author. |
| Description | Introduction to central ideas and beliefs, key debates, and leading thinkers of traditional and contemporary Christian theology such as God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, faith, creation, salvation, atonement, religious history, and heaven. | Chronological overview of primary themes and debates in Christian theology, with a focus on contemporary non-Western theologies, feminist voices, and Christianity and world religions. | Narrative of the history of Christian theological movements, key ideas, and theologians of the Patristic Period, the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the Reformation and Post-Reformation, and the Modern Era up to the present day. | Guide to the European Reformation surveying the ideas of its leaders and movements (Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anabaptism, the Catholic and English Reformations) in light of the intellectual landscape and socio-political issues of the 16th century. | Assuming no previous knowledge of Christian apologetics, this textbook clearly explains the major theoretical and practical aspects of the tradition while exploring its core themes, historical development, and current debates. |
| Feedback | “Students need such a clearly presented, sure-footed account of the theological basics.” Theological Book Review | “The genius of McGrath is his remarkable ability to write in a clear, concise, and lucid manner that draws teachers and students to participate with the great thinkers of the Christian tradition, past and present.” Prof. D. Ngien, Tyndale University | Praise for the previous edition: “Historical Theology is a great book for seminary students or any just interested in theology. McGrath covers a lot of material in a relatively short book, and he keeps it interesting throughout." | “Vigorous, brisk, and highly stimulating. The reader will be thoroughly engaged from the outset, and considerably enlightened at the end.” Rev. Dr J. Platt, Oxford University | "… All in all, this is a much needed and incredibly important book, one that McGrath—given his wide experience of writing and teaching in apologetics—is almost uniquely qualified to write." - Dr. Andy Bannister, University of Toronto |

It is the basics in the old times. But an excellent base.
