AB This book, which began life as a Harvard dissertation supervised by Sarah Coakley, offers a detailed, wide-ranging, and intelligent discussion of Ernst Troeltsch’s understanding of Christianity. It is well contextualized in relation to the problems confronting contemporary Christianity as well as the issues faced by Troeltsch at the beginning of the twentieth century. Showing a command of the extensive primary and secondary literature, Pearson applies an analytic rigour to Troeltsch’s often less than systematic thinking about the essence, origins, and development of Christianity.
