Abstract:
The article deals with the Christological problems of liberal theology, which is determined by the idea of unity of the divine and human origin; recognition of religion as a constituent part of culture; granting the prerogative of the historical method in theology over dogmatic. It was established that in recent times, representatives of the liberal Protestant school of exegesis modernized Christology, paying due attention to the terminology apparatus and the presentation of the New Testament plots on an easy to perceive language. A characteristic feature of modern Christology was the reproduction of the image of Christ as a religious teacher and the removal of supernatural elements from it. These ideas, in the form of theological modernism, were condemned by the Roman Catholic Church, but in the context of Protestantism they long existed in the ideology of religious liberalism. In this regard, liberalization in Christology manifests itself in the subjective reflection of the person of Jesus Christ and his activities, built on the experience of the researcher. The mind in this sense should be open to critical perception of information. Liberal theologians denied the doctrines of the Christian church, the content of which was not subject to scientific substantiation, in particular the embodiment of Christ, the Resurrection, the Ascension, the second coming. However, the correlation of religious faith with the latest scientific achievements, for many theologians, created a kind of challenge to adjust the centuries-old Christian tradition with the advent of time. Protestant theology allows you to adapt to the demands of the present, to introduce new tactics and strategies for its development. Having determined the Christological object of Divine worship as a mentor of morality, liberal theology generated modernist concepts that enhanced the morality of Christianity and formed the image of historical Christ. This position has become dominant in the Christological concepts of the representatives of the Tübingen Protestant School, the theology of mediation and new orthodoxy, and to a large extent reflected on the doctrinal basis of modern models of Christology in Christian theology. Given the bias of representatives of liberal theology in covering key aspects of the Christological doctrine of Jesus Christ, the followers of Protestantism launched a separate line of research, called the theology of mediation. The main task of this movement was to reconcile the ideological paradigm between Christian faith and scientific knowledge.

Abstract:
Abstract This study of the works of Ödön Kovács (1844–1895) demonstrates how Western European liberal scholarship, especially the work of J. H. Scholten, C. P. Tiele, and O. Pfleiderer, impacted the emergence of the science of religion in the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. It addresses the issue of how the science of religion was envisioned and explicated by Kovács, a pioneer of the study of religion in Hungary. By examining his first series of articles written as early as 1869 on the science of religion, the article sheds light on the different theoretical premises and methodologies of theology and the science of religion as well as on the impact of the Tübingen and Leiden schools of theology. It further points out how the emergence of the science of religion was promoted by one of the most talented Hungarian scholars of religion. Finally, it attempts to demarcate the lines of divergence and convergence between the two interconnected academic fields.

Abstract:
Uber dem Berg gibst auch Leute. This ultramontane remark made in 1742 by Christoph Matthäus Pfaff, professor of theology and chancellor of Tübingen University between 1720 and 1756, was intended to shake students out of their cosy, provincial and exclusive Lutheran theology. It was time, so Pfaff argued, they opened windows, put aside their arrogant hair-splitting about correct Lutheran doctrine, and looked at the wider Protestant world beyond Württemberg. Knowledge of the sources of the Christian Church, and of the customs and legal shape of Protestantism in Germany as it had developed since the Reformation, provided the only sure defence of the Protestant Church in an age when autocratic behaviour was fashionable with princes, and the temporal authority of Popes Clement xi and Clement XII was still an inescapable fact.

Abstract:
This paper discusses the voice of Protestant theologians and pastors who opposed the exaltation of origin (Blut und Boden) and Volk, which political theology (P. Althaus, E. Hirsch) considered to belong to the order of divine creation. As far as theologians are concerned, the opponents were recruited, before 1930, particulary from the left wing of liberalism and among biblical exegetes. Otherwise, the majority of Protestant academics, like the pastors, thought that they could adhere to the völkisch movement whilst rejecting its excesses (crass antisemitism, deification of the race). After the elections of 1930, most Protestant thinkers took it upon themselves to combat, from within, the neo-pagan tendencies of the Nazi party. Only theologians of the school of dialectic theology, Pauk Tillich and Karl Barth, rejected firmly the sacralisation of Volk and Blood ; but until the Deutsche Christen, their voice, arriving late, remained isolated.

Abstract:
There is significant correspondence between two phenomena that are very rarely treated together yet reveal intriguing similarities: liturgical theology and German Romanticism. The key shared concept is “organism,” a category expressing active life as well as coherence. It shows a way out of the deadlock caused by a simple opposition of objectivism and subjectivism. This article first of all presents an interesting kind of liturgical theology that was done by representatives of the Catholic Tübingen School, and then shows that the emerging Liturgical Movement was intrinsically Romantic in its theological approach to the liturgy.

Abstract:
Abstract In the project „youth counts“ of the University of Tübingen, data on the different programs offered by the Protestant Church were collected for the first time for a whole state (Baden-Württemberg). This includes youth work, musical programs, confirmation work as well as Sunday School. The article describes the procedure of online data gathering and presents core results. More than 300.000 young people participate in a regular program with groups which amounts to 18.5% of the 6 to 20 years old Protestants. Youth work related to schools has grown markedly over the last few years, among others because of cooperations with whole day schools. In the final part of the article, the authors point out the need for more empirical observation in the area of non-formal education, especially in the field of Protestant youth work.

Abstract:
The First Hundred Years of Women’s Theological Education in Cluj-Napoca. The initial topic of the study at hand addresses the beginnings. In terms of women’s education, one of the positive effects of the Reformation is the insistence on the widespread availability of the Bible, which was inevitably followed by the eradication of illiteracy among women. Following the Reformation, another argument emerged in favour of the importance of educating women in theology: society regarded women as a key role in raising children, so in order to raise their children educated in theology, their ability to do so became a priority. The second topic addresses the direct preconditions of the theological education of women, especially the changes in the 19th-century school history, which resulted in women’s admission to universities and opening up the opportunity for them to obtain degrees in higher education. Furthermore, the study presents the past hundred years of women’s education in theology in the Protestant educational centres of Cluj-Napoca – from the first enrolment, the first ordained woman minister up to the present time. Keywords: Reformed women’s education, women in theological academic education, women as religion teachers, the ordination of women in the Protestant denominations, women in the Reformed theological education in Cluj-Napoca/Kolozsvár

Abstract:
The following essay surveys and reflects on the conference as a whole. It identifies a series of significant developments in the study of later Reformed thought, notably a series of ways in which scholarship has moved beyond the dead-ends of older approaches such as the notorious “Calvin against the Calvinists” school of thought. Among other points, the issue of continuity and discontinuity in the history of Protestant thought has received considerable nuance, the diversity and variety of Reformed thought is identified both in the Reformation roots of issues and in the later developments, and the questions of the relationship of Calvin to the Reformed tradition and of the reception of his thought by later generations are reviewed. The conference, therefore, confirms the recent work of reassessing the development of “Calvinism” and points toward significant areas for future research.

Abstract:
Pauline studies have long dealt with the theology (and sometimes the ethics) of Paul and the career of the apostle to the Gentiles. Lesser attention has been given to the communities of Paul. When Victor Furnish'sForschungsberichttook up ‘the Pauline congregations’, as part of what he termed an ‘overdue refocusing’, the emphases were on (1) relations with Jewish Christianity; (2) Paul's opponents; and (3) social history. The first area still often reflects hypotheses of the Tübingen School; the second, conflicts with rampant Judaizers or Gnostics or both as the opposition. Social world research looks to accumulate descriptive data from antiquity or also to use some modern sociological theory, to interpret Pauline church life and structures.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter profiles Catholic scholars who, unlike the majority of Catholics in the early nineteenth century, appropriated the tools of historical criticism in the interpretation of the text and the contents of the New Testament. Johann Leonhard Hug, the most important Catholic exegete of the first half of the century, contributed to the textual criticism of the New Testament and to the debate about the synoptic problem. He and Martin Josef Mack wrote extensive critiques of D. F. Strauss’s Life of Jesus (1835). Johannes Kuhn, an outstanding member of the Catholic Tübingen School, not only criticized Strauss’s work, but also, as a counterpoint to Strauss’s, wrote his own Life of Jesus (1838), which won praise as a pioneering work while also eliciting reproach from more conservative Catholics. All three Catholics engaged the Protestant scholarship of their day; all three sought to balance critical historical methodology with their Catholic theological convictions.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter shows how those Lutheran theologians who accepted Brenz’s homo assumptus Christology incorporated the notion of the communication of subsistence into their Christological thinking, as a way of explaining the union of natures. Matthias Hafenreffer and Balthasar Meisner both develop accounts of predication to allow for the truth of personal predications without requiring identity of supposition, while allowing the suppositions of ‘God’ and ‘man’ to be distinct but united substances. Meisner follows the Thomists in allowing that both the divine subsistence and divine existence are communicated to the human nature. Later Lutherans—Johann Gerhard, the Tübingen theologian Theodor Thumm, Abraham Calov, and Andreas Quenstedt—more or less follow Meisner’s semantics. They hold too that the divine subsistence is communicated to the human nature, but that this nature has its own existence. In addition, while Meisner and Gerhard hold that there is no created relation, consequent on the union, between the human nature and the divine person, Calov and Quenstedt both affirm such a relation.

Abstract:
Abstract The faculty of Catholic theology in Tübingen has long been recognized as one of the leading engines of theological creativity in Christian theology over the past 200 years. Yet there is some question about whether it is appropriate to call it a ‘school’. This chapter examines that debate before outlining the key figures and arguments who shaped the essence of the Catholic theology done in Tübingen. It also charts a decisive turn in the School’s direction, precipitated by an internal debate about mandatory celibacy in the Catholic Church. This turn was important not only to the development of the School, but to debate about how to understand or qualify the relationship between the empirical reality of a faculty of Catholic theology in Tübingen, and the more abstract question over the existence of School.

Abstract:
Abstract The Tübingen School, centred on Ferdinand Christian Baur (1792–1860), was a theological movement marked by a thoroughgoingly critical approach to biblical and early Christian history, which flourished in a roughly twenty-five-year period, from the 1830s to the mid-1850s. This chapter first considers Baur’s own theological project, attending to the philosophical resources he musters to overcome a divide between rationalism and supernaturalism, and charting a series of his critical results in biblical and historical study. Baur’s distinctive form of historicizing idealism enabled him to see history as the realm of the Spirit’s self-mediation in the world, and so offered meaning to Baur’s historical results. The chapter then turns to offer a brief account of the other members of the ‘School’ before considering the influence of the movement on subsequent theological reflection.

The main subject of this chapter is the immediate consequences for Strauß’s career of the publication of Das Leben Jesu. It first treats Strauß’s self-defense before the Inspektorat in Tübingen: that his critique was only developing a tendency already present in Protestant theology. It then examines the consequences of the failure of this defense: Strauß’s banishment to a minor post in Ludwigsburg. Strauß’s failure to adjust to this new life led to his decision to move to Stuttgart and to become a freelance writer. Another concern of this chapter is the changes Strauß introduced into the second edition of Das Leben Jesu.

Abstract:
Abstract Taking up the subject of Schleiermacher’s influence on Catholic theology, this chapter focuses on Schleiermacher’s profound and lasting influence on two of his contemporaries, Johann Sebastian Drey and Johann Adam Möhler. It selects these two figures both on the basis of their stature in Catholic theology and the importance of Schleiermacher’s thought on their own development. Although Schleiermacher’s influence seems undeniable, for nearly two hundred years scholars have contested the weight and consequence of this influence. This chapter weighs those arguments, from their first appearance in the 1820s and 1830s, through the groundbreaking work by Max Seckler on Drey. The chapter also identifies the Catholic Tübingen School, to which both Drey and Möhler belonged, as a precursor of the ressourcement theology that would impact the course of twentieth-century theology in general, and the Second Vatican Council in particular. The chapter concludes by examining Schleiermacher’s influence on Karl Rahner, and an important attempt by Francis Fiorenza to chart Schleiermacher’s impact on theological method in Catholic circles.

Abstract:
The main intellectual developments discussed in this chapter are the rise of the historical-critical study of the Bible and the science of religion in the Netherlands in the second half of the nineteenth century. Both developments concern the historization of the field of theology itself, the use of historical and comparative methods to study religions. The influence of the natural sciences and Darwinism on theology was not particularly strong in the Netherlands. The first section addresses the ground-breaking work of the Old Testament scholar Abraham Kuenen, especially in relation to the publications of Julius Wellhausen and William Robertson Smith. The second section is devoted to the Dutch Radical School, which emerged at the end of the nineteenth century. The third section focuses on the new 1876 Higher Education Act, which introduced history of religions and philosophy of religion (often considered to be the two main branches of the ‘science of religion’) as part of the theological curriculum. The fourth section briefly introduces the work of two Dutch ‘pioneers’ of the science of religion and their views on theology in relation to it. Cornelis Petrus Tiele originally hoped for a complete transformation of theology into a science of religion that could fulfil the tasks of theology in a scholarly fashion, whereas Pierre Daniël Chantepie de la Saussaye aimed at a new phenomenology of religion that would remodel the study of religion, including Christianity.

Abstract:
In the later nineteenth century the University of Michigan under President James Angell was often seen as a model of a modern university friendly to Christianity. Early in his tenure the university was accused of discrimination in preferring Protestant Christianity to Roman Catholicism, Judaism, or atheism. Angell responded to the satisfaction of a state investigating committee that while the school was Christian, it was not sectarian in the sense of teaching any one theology in preference to another. The emphasis was on building moral character rather than relating theology directly to other learning. Throughout the rest of the century this was the prevailing resolution of the tension between the Christian heritage and modern scientific research ideals. Characteristic was a volume, Religious Thought at the University of Michigan (1893), published by the Student Christian Association at Michigan. It represented a broad Christian ethical emphasis and included a presentation by John Dewey.

Abstract:
This book has argued that Vatican II should be understood as a point on an arc of reform that extends all the way back to the eighteenth century. Pushing the roots of the council back beyond the twentieth-century reform movements, modernism, Newman, and the Tübingen School helps us to better understand and interpret Vatican II reforms. Thus, the complexities of a hermeneutic of reform, which interprets the council as having both continuity and discontinuity, on different levels, with past Catholic teaching and theology, become clearer. A hermeneutic of reform should not only return to the “deepest patrimony” of the fathers or the early Church, but must also recognize that the agendas of failed Catholic reformers of the more recent past have sometimes survived, and have even been vindicated in certain ways. John O’Malley’s work has shown that to fully understand Vatican II, we must recognize that “in St. Peter’s, beside the thousands of [Council] Fathers . . . Pius IX and Pius XII, Marx and Freud, Lagrange and Rosmini, and De Maistre and Lamennais were there, listening to the infinite debate that changed the church.”...
