Schleiermacher A Guide For The Perplexed

"Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher stands in the very first rank of Christian systematic theologians with Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, and Karl Barth and has been dubbed as the 'Father of Modern Theology'.? The beginning of the era of liberal theology that dominated Protestant thought at least until the First World War is commonly dated to the publication of Schleiermacher's On Religion:? Speeches to Its Cultured Despisers in 1799.? His influence extends far beyond theology.? He was a pioneer in education, the philosophy of language and hermeneutics.? There has been a resurgence of interest in Schleiermacher.?His way of wrestling with many of the issues of theology in the modern world are still quite relevant.?This Guide for the Perplexed brings the results of the recent decades of research to bear on the most controversial and important aspects of Schleiermacher's work for our own time."--Publisher website.
