Theological work, whatever else it may be, is always reflection on
social transformations. Not only pastors but also theologians work
with the sources of the Christian traditions in one hand and a
newspaper in the other. But how are we to understand the
relationship between social transformations and the continuously
“compromised” development of Christian ideals, as these are
measured by doctrinal formulations? And how might a more deeply
sociological perspective on this relationship inform theological
work? Matthew Ryan Robinson and Evan F. Kuehn approach this
question, not by reconstructing a history of ideas, but rather by
telling a story about the development of churches and theological
institutions. They take the turbulent and dynamic ecclesiological
situation of nineteenth-century Germany as a representative case,
focusing on the sociological methodological orientation of
Friedrich Schleiermacher and Ernst Troeltsch in the context of the
rise of theological liberalism, the history of religions, and the
German churches’ confrontation with social and political
challenges. . Robinson and Kuehn then connect this orientation with
the sociology of religion of Hans Joas and Niklas Luhmann, arguing
for a functional focus in theological research on what doctrines do
rather than what the reality behind or in any particular doctrine
is.
