This is a discussion of the ethical implications of German liberal
theology in the early years of the 20th century. It avoids
pejorative interpretative categories (such as "culture
protestantism"), seeking instead to understand the 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. Troeltsch's public theology is
contrasted with other liberal models of theology, particularly
those of the New Testament scholar Wilhelm Bousset and the
systematic theologian Wilhelm Herrmann, who were far more reluctant
to engage seriously with their context and as a result isolated
religion from its wider social and intellectual setting.
