Ernst Troeltsch and Liberal Theology
This is the first discussion in English of the ethical implications of German liberal theology in the early years of the twentieth century. It avoids pejorative interpretative categories (such as `culture protestantism'), seeking instead to understand a much neglected period on its own terms. The leading figure, Ernst Troeltsch (1865-1923), is treated as a `public theologian', engaging at many different levels with his social and political context and trying to ensure that religion could continue to shape the future course of history. To understand his context he made use of the tools of the emergent discipline of sociology and also entered into dialogue with philosophers and historians. Tro...
Ernst Troeltsch
Toshimasa Yasukata offers a detailed study and interpretation of the German theologian Ernst Troeltsch, discerning a systematic unity in his thought. Despite the obvious diversity of his interests and published works, Troeltsch is shown to be thoroughly consistent in exploring the possibility of establishing normative values in the face of the relativizing efforts of history. In his closing remarks, Yasukata suggests the wide-ranging significance of Troeltsch's work for the future of theology.
Ernst Troeltsch
Ernst Troeltsch, who was born in 1865 and died suddenly and prematurely in 1923, on the eve of a visit to Britain, is undoubtedly one of the most important theologians and philosophers of the twentieth century. Having suffered a loss of prestige with the eclipse of liberal theology after his death and the predominance of Karl Barth in a world overshadowed by Nazi Germany and the Second World War, he has now come into his own again, so that this first full-length biography is particularly welcome. Hans-Georg Drescher traces Troeltsch's life from his birth in Augsburg, distinguished university career and meteoric rise to be professor of theology in Bonn, through his twenty-year activity as pro...
Harnack and Troeltsch
As one of the leading historical theologians of the twentieth century, Wilhelm Pauck studied with Adolph Harnack and Ernst Troeltsch at the University of Berlin in the 1920s, and his own thinking was shaped by their work. In this book he clarifies their ideas and their personal relationship to one another, analyzing their particular contributions to the historiography and sociology of religion. Biographical sketches of the two men, set against the background of their time, are enlivened by vivid and amusing anecdotes about their careers and views on life. Harnack and Troeltsch were among the earliest--and remain among the greatest--"interpreters of institutional history and the ideas that govern and maintain them." Both were in agreement with Harnack's dictum, "We study history in order to intervene in the course of history." In its clear presentation of these two major figures, this book is an attack on the stronghold of ignorance about the Christian heritage that has, Pauck contends, impoverished and isolated churches in the United States.
Christian thought, its history and application
Ernst Troeltsch received an invitation to deliver lectures on his life's work in London, Edinburgh, and Oxford in March 1923 as one of the first German scholars to visit Britain after the First World War; however he died shortly before he could make the trip. The texts of the five lectures, published posthumously, carry Troeltsch's idea of a European cultural synthesis, following from his studies on Historicism and its problems (KGA 16). As part of the complete critical edition, this volume presents the original German lectures together with their English translations for the first time.
