In Readings in the History of Christian Theology, Volume 2: From the Reformation to the Present, William C.

From the sixteenth century into the twentieth, he presents significant selections from works of the principal Protestant and Catholic thinkers, including present-day writers such as Gustavo Gutiérrez and Rosemary Radford Ruether.

Placher adopts an ecumenical approach, representing diverse traditions. He focuses on ideas rather than on the history of institutions.
