German Theology

Deutsches_Reich_-_Königreich_Preussen

This is a collection of 19th century German theology available online for reading or download. I will update from time to time. In order to attain a competent overview of this period, I recommend:

Types of Modern Theology: Schleiermacher to Barth (H. R. Mackintosh)

Protestant Theology in the Nineteenth Century (Karl Barth)

Modern Christian Thought: The Enlightenment and the Nineteenth Century

An invaluable survey of German universities and theologians was published by Philip Schaff in 1857: Germany: Its Universities, Theology, and Religion.
