Through various realignments beginning in the Revolutionary era and
continuing across the nineteenth century, Christianity not only
endured as a vital intellectual tradition, but also contributed
importantly to a wide variety of significant conversations,
movements, and social transformations across the diverse spheres of
intellectual, cultural, and social history. The Oxford Handbook of
Nineteenth-Century Christian Thought proposes new readings of the
diverse sites and variegated role of the Christian intellectual
tradition across what has come to be called 'the long nineteenth
century'. It represents the first comprehensive examination of a
picture emerging from the twin recognition of Christianity's
abiding intellectual influence and its radical transformation and
diversification under the influence of the forces of modernity.
Part one investigates changing paradigms that determine the
evolving approaches to religious matters during the nineteenth
century, providing readers with a sense of the fundamental changes
at the time. Section two considers human nature and the nature of
religion. It explores a range of categories rising to prominence in
the course of the nineteenth century, and influencing the way
religion in general, and Christianity in particular, were
conceived. Part three focuses on the intellectual, cultural, and
social developments of the time, while part four looks at
Christianity and the arts-a major area in which Christian ideas,
stories, and images were used, adapted, and challenged during the
nineteenth century. Christianity was radically pluralized in the
nineteenth century, and the fifth section is dedicated to
'Christianity and Christianities'. The chapters sketch the major
churches and confessions during the period. The final part
considers doctrinal themes registering the wealth and scope through
broad narrative and individual example. This authoritative
reference work offers an indispensible overview of a period whose
forceful ideas continue to be present in contemporary theology.
