Ernst Troeltsch and Liberal Theology

Ernst Troeltsch and Liberal Theology by Mark Chapman

This book assesses the German liberal theological tradition in the early years of the twentieth century, concentrating in particular on the work of Ernst Troeltsch. It locates theology in its social and political context, and seeks to understand the period on its own terms and not through the distorting lens of the First World War.

.. an astute, fascinating, and highly recommended scholarly treatment of a theologian whose relevance for the present, as Chapman argues, should be made as clear as possible. * Journal of the Academy of Religion *
Chapman's book is an important and compelling contribution to the study of Troeltsch. His scholarship is richly illuminating and thorough, and his style is concise and lively. * Journal of the Academy of Religion *
... a major contribution to the continuing scholarly interest in the early-twentieth-century theologian Ernst Troeltsch. * Journal of the Academy of Religion *
This book successfully demonstrates Troeltsch's consistent historical approach to theology and sheds much light on the broader theological context of Troeltsch's ideas. Its clarity of organisation and expression make it accessible to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students too. * Journal of Ecclesiastical History *
Well-written and thought-provoking ... tightly argued and thoroughly referenced ... a fine piece of historical theology. * Journal of Theological Studies *
