Résumé : An exhaustive guide to every significant Christian theologian who lived from the first
century to 1308, the year in which John Duns Scotus died. The dictionary encompasses
the Catholic, Orthodox, Nestorian and Monophysite traditions, including information
not previously available in English. Thoroughly indexed, the dictionary incorporates
common variants of names and concepts which will help and direct the reader. The main
criterion for inclusion has been contribution to the development of Christian theology.
Sub-criteria by which that is measured include, above all, originality and influence
on later figures. With over 290 entries, the dictionary provides a handy summary of
theologians' lives and writings together with recent scholarship, as well as an up-to-date,
definitive bibliography listing primary texts, translations and secondary literature
in the major western European languages. Useful for all levels of academia; no other
text matches the depth of the dictionary's bibliographies. The unprecedented thoroughness
of Hill's compilation provides an essential resource for studies at all levels on
such a large and varied range of Church thinkers
