(  ) jesposito | Aug 7, 2007 |  Offering primary source documentary illustration, Bettenson’s work is a concise and useful resource for Church history. Documents also provides a brief introduction and background for each work. This single volume offers insight into church history from the post-NT era to the mid-1990’s. More concise than Stevenson, Bettenson serves as a useful introduction. B+ ( ) bsanner | Jan 1, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0192880713, Paperback)Since its first publication in 1967, this collection of writings from the most important moments in the history of Christianity has established itself as a classic work. Now incorporating a wealth of new material, this new edition will be an essential reference source for anyone interested in the history of the Christian Church.While retaining the original material selected by Henry Bettenson, Chris Maunder has added a substantial section of more recent writings. These new entries illustrate the Second Vatican Council; the theologies of liberation; Church and State from 'Thatcher's Britain' to Communist Eastern Europe; Black, feminist, and ecological theology; ecumenism; and inter-faith dialogue. The emphasis on moral debate in the contemporary Churches is reflected in selections dealing with modern issues such as homosexuality, divorce, AIDS, and in-vitro fertilization. With the publication of this new edition, Documents of the Christian Church provides insights into the whole 2000 years of Christian theological and political debate.
