Very good copy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rigorous work of theological scholarship, The Secularization of History: An Introduction to the Theology of Friedrich Gogarten presents the thought of one of the twentieth century's most provocative and underappreciated Protestant theologians. Larry Shiner carefully unpacks Gogarten's central argument that secularization is not the enemy of Christian faith but rather its legitimate historical consequence, rooted in the biblical understanding of humanity's responsibility over creation. The work chronicles the development of Gogarten's theology in dialogue with existentialism, the crisis theology movement, and the broader intellectual currents of modern Europe, illustrating how history itself becomes the arena of theological meaning. Written in a measured and academically rigorous tone, Shiner makes Gogarten's often dense and challenging ideas accessible to students and scholars of modern theology alike. This introduction stands as an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the theological foundations of secularization theory and its implications for contemporary religious thought.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792239833307,"sku":"2026200004674-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8dca0018-97fd-433c-965c-91252e5d894d.png?v=1779273814","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004674-secondhand-the-secularization-of-history-an-introduction-to-the-theology-of-friedrich-gogarten","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
