Book Description
Excerpt from Fifth International Congress of Free Christianity and Religious Progress: Berlin' August 5 10, 1910; Proceedings and Papers Freedom and progress were throughout the inspiring watchwords of the Congress. That there should be differences of view was inevitable, but diversity did not produce discord. Beneath all varieties of thought and expression lay the conviction of the profound importance of reli gion as a moral and spiritual force in human life. Among the themes which excited the most eager interest were its place in education, its share in the social order, its influence on peace. Side by side with these were the large questions of modern theology, the results of recent study of the Bible, the personality of Jesus, the psychological and philosophical foundations of belief, the interpretation of man's moral nature. The speakers sought no fictitious unity. That which brought them together was not any authoritative identity of doctrine; they did not desire to produce any fresh confession of belief. But from day to day there grew a joyous sense of mutual understanding, a deep and solemn conviction of a great opportunity, the consciousness of a steadily advancing power. Lonely workers in distant outposts felt themselves no more isolated they belonged to a great host with a common cause of liberty and truth. To the friends at Berlin who organised the meetings with such unwearied devotion the warmest thanks of the foreign members are due. The noble and lovely music, the inspiring religious services, the delightful sense of international good-will, would alone have rendered the Berlin gathering most memorable. May this volume recall to those who were present the deep impressions of a united purpose which were there created, and awaken in others the consciousness of fraternal sym pathy in faith and hope.

Book Description
A reassessment of the theology of the German Protestant theologian, Ernst Troeltsch (1865-1923) and of his significance for contemporary theology. The six papers here presented were originally delivered at an international colloquium on Troeltsch held at the University of Lancaster. The contributors focus on the fundamental issues raised by Troeltsch which remain central to theology today and seek to engage him as a discussion partner in a continuing debate. Troeltsch has been unduly neglected as a theologian, a fact which is due partly to the dominance of the 'dialectical' theology of Barth and Bultmann in Germany after the First World War. This book seeks to remedy this state of affairs by dealing critically with Troeltsch's theology as well as constructively with the issues. The papers fall into three groups: in the first Troeltsch is considered as a Christian theologian; in the second are studied the possibilities of systematic and historical theology along Troeltschian lines; in the third the questions of what makes Christianity Christian and of Christian claims to exclusive truth are examined in the light of Troeltsch's work. Each of the contributors is a noted Troeltsch scholar and the book contains an extensive bibliography, which adds to its usefulness to students and scholars alike.
