A theology for the Bildungsbürgertum: Albrecht Ritschl in context
2020 (English)Book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]
This book provides a new approach to Albrecht Ritschl’s theology. Leif Svensson argues that Ritschl’s theological project must be related to three cultural developments – historical criticism, materialism, and anti-Lutheran polemics – and understood in the context of the de-Christianization of the Bildungsbürgertum in nineteenth-century Germany.
