Protestant Thought in the Nineteenth Century, Volume 1

History & Biography

“A mature, well-organized book. Welch has fruitfully mined the sources for each thinker discussed. There are extensive bibliographic and explanatory footnotes, which add substantially to the usefulness of the study. Clear and detailed in exposition, perceptive and incisive in judgment, Welch instructively points out the characteristic and distinctive features of his subjects' thought and quite convincingly illuminates both the strengths and weaknesses of their rationales.”
