Title: Philosophy of Religion in Nineteenth-Century England and Beyond
First published: December 3, 1999
Description: "This book takes a new look at the history of Christianity from the Tractarian Movement to Vatican II. It argues that, beginning in early nineteenth-century Oxford and ending in late twentieth-century Rome, a major change occurred in the philosophy of religion, which may be named the critical implosion. It was a major change because, while it did not necessarily alter what was believed, it influenced the how and why of belief, the intellectual parameters of religion.

Twelve major religious thinkers are examined for their intellectual contexts, personalities and underlying philosophies. Intellectual history is combined with the history of theology in global perspective."--BOOK JACKET.
