内容説明

Can Christians continue to worship Jesus Christ as the full, final and "absolute" revelation of God in an age of historical relativism, an expanding universe and the impinging of other world faiths on Western culture? The German liberal theologian Ernst Troeltsch (1865-1923) thought not, but so vehemently negative was the "neo-orthodox" reaction to his views that little attention has previously been paid to a full exposition of his Christology. This study seeks, in undertaking that task, to dispel many common misapprehensions and to examine Troeltsch's relativism in the light of current debates in the social sciences. It goes on to assess the strength of Troeltsch's case against traditional incarnationalism, and to commend his use of sociological and psychological tools in Christology as rich in potential for today. Far from marking the collapse of liberal theology, it is argued, Troeltsch's Christological method opens new possibilities for the future.
