Summary: | Wilhelm Bender was professor of systematic theology in Bonn from 1876-1888. Like many of his contemporaries, he steered a course away from mediatory theology via the "Ritschlian school" to liberal theology. His attempt to sublate Darwin's theory of evolution and scientific materialism into an idealistic system of the history of religion and culture set him in sharp opposition to the conservative currents within the Church, costing him his chair. In his efforts to establish a relative absoluteness of Christianity as the highest value discernible in the history of religion he can be seen as a forerunner of Ernst Troeltsch. |
