Protestant Thought: from Rousseau to Ritschl

A twentieth century Christian thinker presents a study of the European intellectual climate from the middle of the eighteenth to the middle of the nineteenth century. Each chapter is an introduction to, and analysis of, a molder of modern thought. The discussion of each man includes significant biographical details, a presentation of his theological and philosophical ideas within the framework of his cultural environment, and an evaluation of his work, pointing out its limitations and permanent contributions.
