 Christianity and Western Thought: A History of Philosophers, Ideas and Movements Faith & Reason in the 19th Century: Volume 2 Steve Wilkens and Alan G. Padgett 
 Description From The Publisher: The nineteenth century continues to wield its substantial influence. Marx, Mill, Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Emerson, Darwin, Freud and Weber brought their era new realms of thought which still populate our imaginations. As a result, the study of history, science, psychology, philosophy, sociology and religion has not been the same. These heirs to rationalism began to explore the full range of human experience—which became a matter of philosophical and theological interest, and even authority. Romanticism flourished in arts and literature as Idealism, Transcendentalism, Pragmatism and other movements developed. All had a profound effect on religion and how it was viewed—particularly on Christianity. In this much-anticipated sequel to Colin Brown's Christianity and Western Thought Volume 1, Steve Wilkens and Alan Padgett follow the story of the interaction between Christianity and philosophy through the monumental changes of the nineteenth century. Complete Set will contain Three Volumes (Volume 3 Not Yet Published) Reviews "The Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century changed the shape and character of the church for all time. The Enlightenment and its nineteenth-century aftermath did the same for the modern world. We cannot understand contemporary culture, values and ways of thinking and their impact on Christianity without an appreciation of what has gone before. Steve Wilkens and Alan Padgett have performed an important service in exploring the interface between the driving ideas of the nineteenth century and Christian thought. They are uniquely qualified for this task. Steve is a trained theologian with an interest in philosophy. Alan is a trained philosopher with an interest in theology. Between them they have produced a jucidious, balanced and well-documented survey of European and North American thought that will serve students and teachers alike. Their work has no rivals in this field." —Colin Brown, Fuller Theological Seminary
