Christopher Ben Simpson tells the story of modern Christian theology against the backdrop of the history of modernity itself. The book tells the many ways that theology became modern while seeing how modernity arose in no small part from theology. These intertwined stories progress through four parts. In Part I, Emerging Modernity, Simpson goes from the beginnings of modernity in the late Middle Ages through the Protestant Reformation and Renaissance Humanism to the creative tension between Enlightenments and Awakenings of the eighteenth-century. Part II, The Long Nineteenth-Century, presents the great movements and figures arising out of these creative tension - from Romanticism and Schleie...
Pope John XXIII called the Second Vatican Council so that the Church’s doctrine might be “more widely known, more deeply understood, and more penetrating in its effects.” However, since the close of the Council in 1965, the results are wanting. Rather than announcing the gospel boldly in the present age, the Church has been seemingly reduced to silence. How did she lose her voice?

On the development of this language of death, the author argues that this language conveys two aspects...
"This book charts Hans Kung's transition from traditionalism to modernism, using his work as a vehicle to compare contemporary theology to traditional Christianity. Looking at the traditional signs of the church - unity, catholicity, holiness, and apostolicity in Kung's Structures of the Church (1962) and modern ecclesiology in his On Being a Christian (1974), Simut reconfirms Kung's adherence to a non-traditional understanding of Christianity."--BOOK JACKET.
