Nature Lost?: Natural Science And The German Theological Traditions Of The Nineteenth Century (Hardcover)

Nature Lost?: Natural Science and the German Theological Traditions of the Nineteenth Century

In the main, nineteenth-century German theologians paid little attention to natural science and especially eschewed philosophically popular yet naive versions of natural theology. Frederick Gregory shows that the loss of nature from theological discourse is only one reflection of the larger cultural change that marks the transition of European society from a nineteenth century to a twentieth-century mentality.
