Thomas Olgetree’s Christian Faith and History offers a critical analysis of the views of Ernst Troeltsch and Karl Barth regarding Christian faith and history. Troeltsch and Barth appraoched theology from seemingly antithetical vantage points, but Ogletree seeks to identify overlapping interests in the writing of these two authors, and to suggest a broader framework for understanding that constructively combines the insights of both.
Thomas W. Ogletree is Frederick Marquand Professor of Ethics and Religious Studies at Yale Divinity School in New Haven, Connecticut. He has previously served as Dean at both Yale Divinity School and the Drew University Theological School and as President of the Society of Christian Ethics.
