Klappentext "An excellent collection of essays on a century crucial for modern theological, religious and anti-religious thought."Janet Martin Soskice, University of Cambridge "This latest contribution to the Blackwell Companions to Religion masterfully summarizes the major trends in Christian theology during the enormously fertile period stretching from the Enlightenment to the Social Gospel and Modernism. An invaluable reference work that tracks developments across confessions and continents, this volume gives the lie to facile generalizations about nineteenth-century theology by illustrating the extraordinary range and depth of Christian thought through a tumultuous era that was in many respects the crucible for our own."Ian A. McFarland, Emory University The Blackwell Companion to Nineteenth-Century Theology presents a comprehensive account of the most significant theological figures and developments of thought that emerged in Europe and America during the nineteenth century. Bringing together newly commissioned research from prominent Biblical scholars, historians, and theologians, the book covers the key thinkers, confessional traditions, and major religious movements of the period. The contributors' international scholarship ensures balanced viewpoints as well as an ecumenical scope, with treatments of Catholic, Russian Orthodox, and Protestant theologies included. Along with thoughtful analysis of such prominent thinkers as Kant and Kierkegaard, the volume considers the influence of Darwin and the natural sciences on theology, and debates the role and influence of the "antitheologians" - the nineteenth-century thinkers whose conscious rejection of religion continued to have an impact on twentieth-century theology. Representing the most up-to-date theological research, The Blackwell Companion to Nineteenth-Century Theology offers an engaging and illuminating overview of a period that exercises a significant influence on contemporary theology.
