Review Panel of The Oxford Handbook of Friedrich Schleiermacher: New Horizons for Research

This roundtable discussion will consider the themes and approaches of the recent volume, The Oxford Handbook of Friedrich Schleiermacher, edited by Andrew C. Dole, Shelli M. Poe, and Kevin M. Vander Schel. This volume provides authoritative interpretations of developing trends in contemporary Schleiermacher scholarship from both German and English-speaking scholars and seeks to offer a comprehensive view of Schleiermacher’s writings and influence from a wide range of interpretive perspectives. It includes treatments of Schleiermacher’s historical, philosophical, and theological works, including lesser-known contributions that are largely overlooked in Anglophone scholarship, while also locating his work in a broader intellectual context and highlighting the ongoing constructive potential of his thought to inform contemporary avenues of scholarly research in philosophy, theology, and the study of religion.
