Review # 1 was written on 2015-12-03 00:00:00 Tillman Johnson A very well done and readable translation of an important theologian. The reader today would find much familiar in his thought. Using the twin pillars of rationalism and a theology of experience (following Schleiermacher) Troeltsch portrays the Christian faith in relative terms. It is not a faith I would espouse. However just because one disagrees should not mean one does not read. One who wishes to study the great 20th century theologians Barth, Bultmann, Tillich, Brunner, Niebuhr and especially Bonhoeffer should read Troeltsch to understand the 19th century thought they were seeking to liberate theology from.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-03-30 00:00:00 Lance Smith It is nice to read someone from the modern period who is concerned about the classical doctrine of God and christology. Dorner confronts the kenoticists, but acknowledges that the doctrine of divine immutability, while being upheld, needs to be rooted more in the Trinity.
