The Fathers Refounded continues the exploration of Christian intellectual revision begun by Clark in Founding the Fathers: Early Church History and Protestant Professors in Nineteenth-Century America. Drawing on rigorous archival research, Clark takes the reader through the professors' published writings, their institutions, and even their classrooms-where McGiffert tailored nineteenth-century German Protestant theology to his modernist philosophies; where LaPiana, the first Catholic professor at Harvard Divinity School, devised his modernism against the tight constraints of contemporary Catholic theology; and where Case promoted reading Christianity through social-scientific aims and methods. Each, in his own way, extricated his subfield from denominationally and theologically oriented approaches and aligned it with secular historical methodologies. In so doing, this generation of scholars fundamentally altered the directions of Catholic Modernism and Protestant Liberalism and offered the promise of reconciling Christianity and modern intellectual and social culture.
Reviews / Votes
"As has been consistent with Elizabeth Clark's impressive scholarship, The Father's Refounded is another masterpiece that anyone seriously interested in the history of Modernism or Protestant Liberalism, or in the history of the discipline of early Christian studies, or early American Christian scholarship on these topics, cannot ignore. This volume makes an important contribution to this intellectual history: the history of early Christian scholarship. Such studies shed light on the history of our disciplines and academic institutions. They provide clues to our past, and sometimes such studies provide us insights on how we may move forward fruitfully." (Review of Biblical Literature) "The Fathers Refounded is a truly brilliant book, massively researched, beautifully written, often witty, and rich with insight." (Grant Wacker, author of America's Pastor: Billy Graham and the Shaping of America) "Focusing on Protestant and Catholic thinkers who developed fresh interpretations of Christianity during a transformational era in U.S. intellectual and religious life, Elizabeth A. Clark constructs an illuminating narrative about the complex relationship between Christian faith and modern experience. Her transdenominational work is a model for future scholarship in U.S. religious history." (James P. McCartin, Fordham University)More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
