Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) is best known as the ''father of liberalProtestant theology,'' largely on the strength of his massive work of systematic theology, The Christian Faith. In this book, Andrew Dole presents a new account of Schleiermacher's theory of religion. Dole argues that Schleiermacher integrates the individualistic side of religion with a set of claims about itssocial dynamics, and that this takes place within a broader understanding of all events in the world as the product of a universal, law-governed ''causal nexus.''
