A conceptual survey of 19th-century theology and its relation to philosophy, natural science and social transformationsFrom the shadow of the Kantian critique it to the Oxford debates over Darwinism that shook the discipline to the core, and from the death of God to the rise of new Evangelical movements, 19th-century theology was fundamentally reshaped by both internal struggles and external developments. This critical history charts this reshaping by focusing on the emerging theological themes of the period that cross authors, disciplines and nations. A team of internationally leading scholars map lines of thought from Romanticism through Hegelianism and positivism, exploring the richness of theology’s interactions with anthropology, art, industry, literature, philosophy, science and society.Key FeaturesTakes an interdisciplinary approach to theology, focusing on key developments such as philosophical speculation and positivism, natural selection and social changeKey controversies, often consigned to disparate theological sub-fields, are arranged thematicallyRepositions 19th-century theology as a vital series of intellectual experiments at the heart of the intellectual discourse of the eraContributorsRuth Barton, University of Auckland, New Zealand.Roland Boer, University of Newcastle, Australia, and Renmin University of China, Beijing, China.Joshua Cockayne, University of York, UK.Susan Curtis, Purdue University, USA.Benjamin Dawson, Queen Mary University of London, UK.Andrew W.
