Troeltsch's Eschatological Absolute - Evan F. (Metadata Specialist Kuehn - Bog

Evan Kuehn argues that historiographical assumptions about twentieth-century religious thought have obscured the coherence and relevance of the Protestant theologian Ernst Troeltsch's understanding of God, history, and eschatology. Kuehn argues that an eschatological understanding of the Absolute stands at the heart of Troeltsch's theology and the problem of historicism with which it is faced. Troeltsch's theory of the Absolute is shown to be central to his views on
religion and religious ethics and provides practitioners of constructive studies in religion with important resources for engaging with sociological and historical studies.
