v.1 The Emergence of the Catholic Tradition (100-600) -- v.2 The Spirit of Eastern Christendom (600-1700) -- v.3 The Growth of Medieval Theology (600-1300) -- v.4 Reformation of Church and Dogma (1300-1700) -- v.5 Christian Doctrine and Modern Culture (since 1700)
The Christian Tradition will have a single, overall concept guiding its organization and composition. At the same time, each volume will be a self-contained unit, independent in presentation. It will, therefore, be equally adaptable to the work of the intellectual historian, the historian of art, the theologian, and the church historian.
