Summary:The brainchild of the late Colin Gunton, the project has been brought to a successful conclusion by David Fergusson.The work falls into two parts: 'Key thinkers and their influence' (Kant, Schleiermacher, Hegel, Coleridge, Kierkegaard and Newman) and 'Trends and movements' - seventeen chapters encompassing natural science, Romanticism, and Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Liberal and Orthodox theology. Christine Helmer properly bears in mind that as well as being the 'father of modern theology', Schleiermacher was 'a theorist of culture, a sociologist and psychologist of religion, and a philosopher of self-consciousness reaching deep into the philosophy of language' (p. 34). James D. Bratt's account of confessional theology in America is a model of compression- cum-lucidity, while Robert W. Jenson adroitly turns the tables on those who would too easily cast Emerson as a Romantic: Kantian content qualified by sentiment and ornamented with Romantic diction is Jenson's diagnosis.
