A reassessment of the theology of the German Protestant theologian,
Ernst Troeltsch (1865 1923) and of his significance for
contemporary theology. The six papers here presented were
originally delivered at an international colloquium on Troeltsch
held at the University of Lancaster. The contributors focus on the
fundamental issues raised by Troeltsch which remain central to
theology today and seek to engage him as a discussion partner in a
continuing debate. Troeltsch has been unduly neglected as a
theologian, a fact which is due partly to the dominance of the
'dialectical' theology of Barth and Bultmann in Germany after the
First World War. This book seeks to remedy this state of affairs by
dealing critically with Troeltsch's theology as well as
constructively with the issues. The papers fall into three groups:
in the first Troeltsch is considered as a Christian theologian; in
the second are studied the possibilities of systematic and
historical theology along Troeltschian lines; in the third the
questions of what makes Christianity Christian and of Christian
claims to exclusive truth are examined in the light of Troeltsch's
work. Each of the contributors is a noted Troeltsch scholar and the
book contains an extensive bibliography, which adds to its
usefulness to students and scholars alike.
