Oxford, Berlin and Chicago were extraordinarily dynamic centres of
theology during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
However, significant differences in the political climate and
culture of each location bred strikingly divergent theological
approaches in the universities of each city. Mark Chapman offers a
highly original exploration of the subjection of their theologies
to the changes and developments of educational policy and national
and international politics, shedding light upon the constraints
that such external factors have imposed upon the evolution of the
discipline. Chapman highlights the efforts of theologians and
churchmen to relate the true core of Christianity, a lived religion
free of shibboleths, to their rapidly changing world. The opinions
of conservative and liberal theologians are skilfully balanced to
reveal the problems of critical history, of political authority, of
increasing global awareness and of the need for social
amelioration, which profoundly shaped the ways in which theology
was conceived during the period. New ground has been broken in this
inter-disciplinary study of the social, political and
ecclesiastical contexts of Western theology. This book will be
invaluable to any reader interested in the use of theology as part
of the wider quest for social integration and meaning in an
increasingly fragmented society.
