Theologiae Facultasby Johannes Wischmeyer
Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2008; US$ 137.00Protestant theologians played a significant role in the modernisation of academic scholarship at 19th century German universities. This comparative study of four important German faculties shows how publication, teaching and academic careers became professionalised. Although conflicts between church hierarchies and academic theology reached a climax in the years between 1850 and 1870, and massive pressure was brought to bear from outside on university appointments, Protestant Theology developed into a modern academic discipline during the period under review. more...

BRILL 2007; US$ 138.00The keywords migration, elite, and confession that form the leitmotiv of this book allow a focus on major subjects of research in early modern history.

The fifteen papers cover a wide range of topics related to the education of academic theologians and clergy in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. As training programmes differed from university to university, this gave rise to migration and an extensive communicative network. Although a final conclusion of methodological questions requires more research, the volume provides an important contribution to the interdisciplinary... more...
An Uncommon Unionby John D. Hannah
Zondervan 2009; US$ 11.99This insightful history explores the stereotype of Dallas Theological Seminary as an anti-intellectual stronghold of fundamentalism and dispensational premillennialism. The tenures of the school's five presidents reveal the tensions that DTS, a blend of differing heritages and of opposing traditions, has experienced amid changes in American religious and cultural life. more...
