Friedrich Schleiermacher's groundbreaking work in theology and
philosophy was forged in the cultural ferment of Berlin at the
convergence of the Enlightenment and Romanticism. The three
sections of this book include illuminating sketches of
Schleiermacher's relationship to contemporaries (Mendelssohn, Hegel
and Kierkegaard), his work as public theologian (dialogue on Jewish
emancipation, founding the University of Berlin) as well as the
formation and impact of his two most famous books, On Religion:
Speeches to its Cultured Despisers and The Christian Faith. Richard
Crouter examines Schleiermacher's stance regarding the status of
doctrine, Church and political authority, and the place of theology
among the academic disciplines. Dedicated to the Protestant Church
in the line of Calvin, Schleiermacher was equally a man of the
university who brought the highest standards of rationality,
linguistic sensitivity and a sense of history to bear upon
religion.
