Description
Christopher Ben Simpson tells the story of modern Christian theology against the backdrop of the history of modernity itself. The book examines the many ways that theology became modern while seeing how modernity arose in no small part from theology. These intertwined stories progress through four parts. In Part I, 'Emerging Modernity', Simpson discusses the period from the beginnings of modernity in the late Middle Ages to the creative tension between Enlightenments and Awakenings of the 18th-century. Part II, 'The Long Nineteenth-Century', presents the great movements and figures arising out of these creative tension. Part III, 'Twentieth-Century Crisis and Modernity', proceeds through the revolutionary theologies of the period of the World Wars such as that of Karl Barth or nouvelle theologie. Finally, Part IV, 'The Late Modern Supernova', lays out the diverse panoply of recent theologies.
