Philosophy of Religion in Nineteenth-century England and Beyond
Description
A synoptic investigation of the underlying philosophies of 12 religious thinkers from Newman to Ratzinger. It argues that between the Oxford Movement and Vatican II, there was a profound shift, not so much in the content of religious belief, as in the way it was held. This shift, more intellectual than theological, is in the book termed the Critical Impulsion. It may be described as a change from categorically affirmed authority to critically observed method.
