Theologically conservative

In contrast to previous studies, Jörg Breitschwerdt develops the genesis of the evangelical movement not only in connection with the Bultmann controversy since 1941 but places it in a broader context. In particular, the examination of theological debates from the 19th century reveals astonishing theological and structural parallels. What were the theological concerns of the "theologically conservative" movements of both centuries, and how can these be systematized? Breitschwerdt clarifies that the evangelical movement is better understood in the context of a "theologically conservative" movement that emerged in the 18th century in opposition to a "modern theology" primarily characterized by the development of the historical-critical method, rather than as an isolated phenomenon of the 20th century.
