| Abstract: | Abstract : This essay, the third in a series introducing “the veritable renaissance” of scholarly attention to Protestant theology in Germany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, examines the larger context of Protestant theology in the 1920s and the question of whether it was now continuous or discontinuous with what had gone before. Then, using the study by Matthias Wolfes, Protestantische Theologie und moderne Welt, we look at the work of three hitherto and long forgotten theologians—Horst Stephan, Georg Wehrung, and Georg Wobbermin—each of whom developed distinctive approaches to theology and ask about their significance for us in the present. |
