Description

Schleiermacher, a German theologian at the turn of the nineteenth century, is in point of fact probably the most masters of brand new theology: he sought to rebuild Protestant theology within the wake of the Enlightenment and of Kant’s destruction of traditional metaphysics. He was once the founder of “liberal theology” with its emphasis on inner experience and the knowledge of God as mediated through history. This volume concentrates at the key texts and ideas in Schleiermacher’s thought. It presents the crucial Schleiermacher for students and the general reader. Keith Clements’s introductory essay and notes at the selected texts set Schleiermacher in his historical context, chart the development of his thought and indicate the significance of this theology within the development of Christian theology as an entire. Substantial selections from Schleiermacher’s work illustrate key themes: Religion as feeling and relationship The distinctiveness of Christianity: redemption through Jesus Christ The nature of theology as reflection and communication Hermeneutics: conversation with history God and the world The individual and work of Christ Nation, Church and State Christianity and the religions
