Synopsis

Protestant theology in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries underwent significant changes and development, particularly in the wake of the critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant (1724–1804). Traditional theological loci, emphases, doctrines and approaches to Scripture all were significantly revised and modified, and Protestant theology has not been the same since. In The Story of Modern Protestant Theology, Klaus Bockmuehl outlines and critiques the theological positions of some of the well-known—and lesser-known—minds behind this movement, such as Friedrich Schleiermacher, Albrecht Ritschl, Adolf von Harnack, Karl Barth and Rudolf Bultmann. A native of Germany and a student of Karl Barth's, Bockmuehl provides valuable insight into this important period in the history of Christian thought.
