Over the course of the nineteenth century, transatlantic
intellectuals slowly revised theological anthropology, or the
doctrine of humanity seen in light of the divine. Gradually, elite
discourse deposed humanity from its lofty estate and centering it
within a naturalistic account wherein likeness to animal fauna
became the central evaluative lens. Durst argues that theological
anthropologies across the disciplines increasingly shifted focus
away from classic confessional themes such as the soul and the
image of God, and toward the methods of natural theology and
intuitionism. This occurred in the form of challenges to theology
in biology, phrenology, transcendentalism, anti-theology, Christian
socialism, intuitionism, and religious experience. The human soul
and human sinfulness also found a revised articulation in terms
increasingly shaped by the cultural authority of science. An
ascendant subjective approach to human nature emerged whereby
religious experiences, not theological claims to truth, assumed
prominence as the central measures of religious life.
