I read this for an introduction to systematic theology course at seminary. It is an adequate introduction but I probably wouldn't read it except for a class. (

On the Reformation: "The Reformation movement was complex and heterogeneous, and its agenda went far beyond the reform of the doctrine of the church. It addressed fundamental social, political, and economic issues, to complext to be discussed in any detail in this volume. The agenda of the Reformation varied from one country to another, with the theological issues which played major roles in one country (for example, Germany) often having relatively little impact elsewhere (for example, in England)." p. 55 (

McGrath organized the most important theological topics/issues in the Christian history very succinctly compared to the boundary of study. Very helpful for the overview of Christian theology, and good guidebook for the further study for each topic. (
