Inhaltsangabe

This book explores how theological thought has evolved in Germany since Kant, with a particular focus on how it has progressed in Great Britain since 1825. The author examines the influence of Kant's philosophy on the development of theology, highlighting the Kantian emphasis on the distinction between theoretical and practical reason, as well as the idea of the autonomy of reason. It analyzes key theological ideas and concepts within the context of Kant's philosophical framework, such as the existence of God, the nature of morality, and the role of religion in human life. The book also provides a survey of the development of theology in Great Britain, exploring the influence of various philosophical and religious movements, as well as the impact of social and historical factors on theological thought. Overall, this book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how theology has developed in modern times and provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between philosophy, religion, and society.

Excerpt from The Development of Theology: In Germany Since Kant and Its Progress in Great Britain Since 1825

Two years ago I was asked by the Editor of the Library of Philosophy to write the volume tracing the Development of Theology since Kant. According to the more precise statement of its scope, the work was to deal principally with the History of Modern Theology in Germany, but it was desired that it should include an account of the Protestant Theology of this century in other countries, particularly in Great Britain. Although I did not shut my eyes to the difficulties of the task, I resolved to undertake it, with the hope that I might thereby contribute a little towards a better mutual understanding between the German and English nations, especially towards the removal of numerous prejudices that still prevail in Great Britain with regard to the tendencies of the German mind and make it difficult for Englishmen to form a just view of our national character and aims.

Two years ago I was asked by the Editor of the Library of Philosophy to write the volume tracing the Development of Theology since Kant. According to the more precise statement of its scope, the work was to deal principally with the History of Modern Theology in Germany, but it was desired that it should include an account of the Protestant Theology of this century in other countries, particularly in Great Britain. Although I did not shut my eyes to the difficulties of the task, I resolved to undertake it, with the hope that I might thereby contribute a little towards a better mutual understanding between the German and English nations, especially towards the rempval of numerous prejudices that still prevail in Great Britain with regard to the tendencies of the German mind and make it difficult for Englishmen to form a just view of our national character and aims. But no sooner was the work actually taken in hand than the necessity appeared of a reduction of its scope within narrower limits in several respects. An account of theology outside Germany which should be at all satisfactory seemed to me impossible without a study of it on the spot in the respective countries. On this account I was compelled to leave entirely out of my survey the Theology of Holland1 and A merica, and to confine myself to that of Great Britain. With British Theology I had for years kept myself so far in touch that a sojourn of some weeks in England and Scotland was sufficient, with the kind assistance of 1I have made an exception in the case of the critical labours of Dr. Kuenen, of Leyden, which have had a decided influence on the progress of German Theology. This scientific annexation of the distinguished Theologian of the Netherlands will, I hope, be considered excusable.
