Ernst Troeltsch (
February 17 1865 –February 1 1923 ) was a GermanProtestant theologian and writer onphilosophy of religion andphilosophy of history , and an influential figure in German thought before 1914. His work was a synthesis of a number of strands, drawing onAlbrecht Ritschl ,Max Weber 's conception ofsociology , and theNeo-Kantian s of theBaden school .His "The Social Teachings of the Christian Church" (two volume edition in translation by Harper Row, 1960) is a seminal work in this area.
While religious thinking in the days of the
Weimar Republic moved away from his direction, Troeltsch is still important in relation with thesociology of religion .External links
