This review is from: A Cloud of Witnesses: Ten Great Christian Thinkers (Paperback)

This book is a quick read through some of the great Christian thinkers. Each chapter contains a concise history of each thinker with a helpful bibliography at the end. I found the chapters on Anselm, Zwingli, and Aquinas helpful in clarifying their significance in history, their relationship to modern theology, and their impact on their world. This is an excellent book for the layman, church library, or gift.
