Excerpt from The Dynamic of Christianity: A Study of the Vital and Permanent Element in the Christian Religion
Leben Jesu of Strauss had been published but five years, and its author was in disgrace even in Germany. George Eliot's translation was not yet begun, nor to be issued until 1846. Few English students of theology read German, and some of those who did, read it upon the sly. And twenty years were still to pass before Colenso should precipitate the great question of the Higher Criticism of the Bible upon his unwilling countrymen.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between theology, religious faith, societal shifts, and scientific advancements during the 19th and 20th centuries. Despite massive advances in science and technology during this period, the author posits that the dynamic force of Christianity possesses an inherent power that is independent of material or scientific progress. The text provides an overview of Protestantism's trajectory from an antiquated, theological bent toward a more flexible social and moral outlook. It also explores the ways in which Christianity has engaged with the social problems of its time and the role that theology plays as a guide for Christian action in a society grappling with rapid social change. The author argues that despite the dramatic changes wrought by the rise of science and the evolution of religious thought, the core message and power of Christianity remains a vital force in the world.
