History of German Theology in the Nineteenth Century (1889)

The History of German Theology in the Nineteenth Century is a book written by French theologian and historian, Ferdinand Lichtenberger. Originally published in 1889, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the development of German theology during the 19th century, with a particular focus on the Protestant tradition. Lichtenberger begins by examining the influence of the Enlightenment on German theology and the resulting rise of rationalism. He then discusses the impact of Romanticism on theology and the emergence of new theological movements, such as the historical-critical method and the school of Ritschl. Throughout the book, Lichtenberger explores the key figures and ideas that shaped German theology during this period, including Friedrich Schleiermacher, Albrecht Ritschl, and Karl Barth. He also examines the role of theology in German society and politics, particularly in relation to the rise of nationalism and the formation of the German Empire. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of German theology in the 19th century, and is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian thought and the intellectual history of Germany.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
