Liberale Theologie in Jena

Liberal theology in Jena at the end of the 19th century is to be understood as an independent form of liberal theology in the meaning of a theological school of thought which aimed to mediate between the demands of modern rationality and theory of science and the authority of biblical tradition and theology as science of faith. Liberal theology in Jena is characterized by a religious philosophical and religious psychological foundation of theology as well as an interaction between philosophy and exegesis and thus provides a contribution to the present debate on theology and the theory of science.
