In the present day, there is widespread confusion regarding the
theological achievements of the Catholic Enlightenment. This book
outlines such contributions in the fields of biblical exegesis,
church reform, liturgical renewal, and the move toward a more
tolerant view of other churches and religions. Since some of the
most important Catholic Enlighteners lived in Germany, this book
concentrates on their endeavors, but also frequently points to
other European players. Only an unpolemical historical assessment
of the Catholic Enlightenment can help us to get out of the current
gridlock of interpreting Vatican II: was there a break with
tradition, or was there continuity? By reviewing the historical
debates that preceded Vatican II, the unknown, marginalized, or
deliberately forgotten roots of the conciliar debates come to light
that can help us fine-tune future hermeneutical endeavors. This
history is hitherto unknown to most researchers. Indeed, it is
possibly the most neglected field of modern literary history.
