Louis Dupr? is an expert guide to the complex historical and intellectual relation between religion and modern culture. Dupr? begins by tracing the weakening of the Christian synthesis. At the end of the Middle Ages intellectual attitudes toward religion began to change. Theology, once the dominant science that had integrated all others, lost its commanding position. After the French Revolution, religion once again played a role in intellectual life, but not as the dominant force. Religion became transformed by intellectual and moral principles conceived independently of faith. Dupr? explores this new situation in three areas: the literature of Romanticism (illustrated by Goethe, Schiller, and H?lderlin); idealist philosophy (Schelling); and theology itself (Schleiermacher and Kierkegaard). Dupr? argues that contemporary religion has not yet met the challenge presented by Romantic thought. Dupr?'s elegant and incisive book, based on the Erasmus Lectures he delivered at the University of Notre Dame in 2005, will challenge anyone interested in religion and the philosophy of culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLouis Dupré is T.
