Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) is often considered the Father
of Modern Theology, known for his attempt to reconcile traditional
Christian doctrines with philosophical criticisms and scientific
discoveries. Despite the influence of his work on significant
figures like Karl Barth, he has been largely ignored by
contemporary theologians. Focussing on Schleiermacher's doctrine of
sin, this book demonstrates how Schleiermacher has not only been
misinterpreted, but also underestimated, and deserves a critical
re-examination. The book approaches Schleiermacher on sin with
respect to three themes: one, its power to transcend an intractable
metaethical dilemma at the heart of modern debates over sin; two,
its intended compatibility with natural science; and three, to
re-evaluating its place, and so Schleiermacher's place, in the
history of theology. It solves and dissolves problems arising
simultaneously from natural science, confessional theology, ethics,
and metaphysics in a single, integrated account using
Schleiermacher's understudied thought from his dogmatics The
Christian Faith. In contrast to the account sometimes given of
modern theology as marked by a break with "Greek metaphysics,"
Schleiermacher's account is shown to stand in stark contrast by
retrieving, not excising, ancient thought in service of an account
of sin adequate to natural science. This is a vital rediscovery of
a foundational voice in theology. As such, it will greatly appeal
to scholars of Modern Theology, theological ethics, and the history
of Modern Christianity.
