This book introduces the reader to German religious thought, tracing a philosophical and historical path through its key themes from its origins to the present day. At the heart of German religious thought is the Greek Spirit - a worldly wisdom that weighs lightly such other-worldly concepts as salvation and the supernatural. The author tracks the Christian struggle to maintain itself against this Greek Spirit throughout history, with the narrative primarily focused on influential figures in German thought - Origen and Augustine in the first era, and Schleiermacher and Hegel in the second. The author finds the first era to be dominated by the Greek Spirit of Origen that finds expression in its theology, while the second era is seen as developments within German thought in opposition to these early Greek idea, and primarily the influence of the writings of Augustine. The author finds the Greek Spirit to be the source of modern secular worldviews such as materialism and rationalism, and the book's deep dive into German religious thought provides the reader with a genealogy of prominent ideas that shape our modern world.
