Synopsis

Albrecht Ritschl (1822-1889) looms large in the second half of the nineteenth century. He redirected theology from speculative idealism toward a more concrete, historical apprehension of the Bible, the church, and Christian life. Ritschl in Retrospect reassesses Ritschl's rich legacy and current import, especially on such still-pertinent topics as his attempt to reinvigorate the Reformation tradition, his reflections on the communal dimensions of church, his recognition of the centrality of the kingdom of God, his community-based Christocentric reading of the Bible, his criticisms of classical theism, and his thoughts on religion and science. Joining Darrell Jodock in this reassessment are the following leading historians and theologians: William R. Barnett Clive Marsh Richard P. Busse Hans Schwarz David W. Lotz Rich M. Wall Jr. Gerald W. McCulloh Claude Welch
