In shaping the modern academy and in setting the agenda of modern Christian theology, few institutions have been as influential as the German universities of the nineteenth century. This book examines the rise of the modern German university from the standpoint of the Protestant theological faculty, focusing especially on the University of Berlin (1810), Prussia's flagship university in the nineteenth century. In contradistinction to historians of modern higher education who often overlook theology, and to theologians who are frequently inattentive to the social and institutional contexts of religious thought, Thomas Albert Howard argues that modern university development and the trajectory of modern Protestant theology in Germany should be understood as interrelated phenomena.

Industry Reviews

`'...a diffuse, complicated and intriguing book...it undoubtedly illuminates the sociopolitical role of religion in modern Germany and it probes effectively, and in an originally eclectic style, at the wider processes of religious transformation underlying modern societies.''
