Angebote / Angebote:

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 "anti-theologians" - 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.
