Summary
What part did Martin Luther, Georg Büchner, Friedrich Nietzsche, Franz Kafka, Karl Barth and Dietrich Bonhoeffer play in shaping the character of modernity? Which aspects of their thinking transcend the modern age? Approaching his subject from this angle, Michael Trowitzsch searches for a transitional theology. In doing so, he extends the study of the history of the problem to include fundamental observations on the current situation in theology, showing that the modern quest for power as a structural law of the modern age can be overcome.
