Questions surrounding the genesis, development, and viability of
modern academic theology have drawn renewed and heightened interest
in recent years. Over the past decade, an increasing number of
detailed studies have inquired into the emergence of scientific
theology ( wissenschaftliche Theologie ) in the nineteenth century
and its uneasy relationship with the shifting intellectual culture
of the modern research university. This volume presents a unique
contribution to this developing conversation, offering a focused
treatment of the many-sided debate surrounding the tasks and
limitations of historical and critical theology as it develops in
the modern German university during the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. The fifteen chapters of the volume examine the
challenges of the historical study of theology and the contested
concept of scientific theology in the writings of foundational
figures such as Kant, Schleiermacher, Baur, Ritschl, Harnack,
Troeltsch, Barth, and Bonhoeffer. Yet it also attends to ongoing
debates concerning the relationship between supernatural revelation
and empirical-historical research, the rise and fall of historicism
in theology, the competing locales of church and university, the
appropriation of historical methods within Protestant and Catholic
theological faculties, and the place and function of theology in
the increasingly specialized modern research university. As the
essays demonstrate, the implications of this conversation continue
to resound in contemporary discussions of the place of the study of
theology and religion in the modern university.
