The Rebirth of Revelation: German Theology in an Age of Reason and History, 1750–1850.

"The Rebirth of Revelation: German Theology in an Age of Reason and History, 1750–1850" explores the revival of the concept of revelation in German theology following the Enlightenment critique of revealed religion. The text delves into the changing perceptions of revelation, from being a propositional function to an ontological concept, influenced by thinkers like Hume, Kant, Hegel, Schelling, and Schleiermacher. The book also examines the impact of these theological developments on Catholicism, Judaism, and Protestantism in Germany, highlighting the diverse perspectives within each confession. Despite the conservative backlash in the mid-19th century, the text argues that post-Enlightenment German theology successfully reconceived revelation in ways that endured historical criticism and philosophical scrutiny, emphasizing its continued relevance in modern discourse.
