Religion in History
These essays, only two of which have appeared previously in English, reflect Troeltsch's vast knowledge and deep insight into modernity, which led him to discern the radical implications of historicity for religion and theology. His thought remains a resource, a guide, and a prod in an ongoing theological quest.
Ernst Troeltsch (1865--1923) was among the most influential liberal Protestant theologians at the turn of the century. Among the thousands of pages of his literary production, his most well-known works in English are the classic volumes, The Absoluteness of Christianity and the History of Religion (1902) and The Social Teaching of the Christian Churches (1908).
