SCHLEIERMACHER THE STUDY OF RELIGION AND THE FU...

The past three decades have witnessed a significant transatlantic and trans-disciplinary
resurgence of interest in the early nineteenth-century Protestant theologian and philosopher 
Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834). As the first major Christian thinker to theorize religion
in a post-Enlightenment context and re-conceive the task of theology accordingly 
Schleiermacher holds a seminal place in the histories of modern Christian thought and the
modern academic study of religion alike. Whereas his liberalism and humanism have always made
him a controversial figure among theological traditionalists  it is only recently that
Schleiermacher s understanding of religion has become the target of polemics from Religious
Studies scholars keen to disassociate their discipline from its partial origins in liberal
Protestantism. Schleiermacher  the Study of Religion  and the Future of Theology documents an
important meeting in the history of Schleiermacher studies at which leading scholars from
Europe and North America gathered to probe the viability of key features of Schleiermacher s
theological and philosophical program in light of its contested place in the study of religion.
