Overview

Protestant theology in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries underwent significant changes and development, particularly in the wake of the critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant (1724-1804). Traditional theological loci, emphases, doctrines, and approaches to Scripture all were significantly revised and modified, and Protestant theology has not been the same since. In A Modest Program for Self-Improvement: The Story of Modern Protestant Liberal Theology, Klaus Bockmuehl outlines and critiques the theological positions of some of the well-known-and lesser known-minds behind this movement, such as Friedrich Schleiermacher, Albrecht Ritschl, Adolf von Harnack, Karl Barth and Rudolf Bultmann. A native of Germany and a student of Karl Barth's, Bockmuehl provides invaluable insight into this important period in the history of Christian thought.
