"From Kant to Tillich and Rahner, Berkhof traces the efforts of theologians, largely liberal but not all Germanic, to come to terms with modernity in such ways that the gospel may still and again be heard. To retell this story meant a personal journey for the author, and his travelogue brings many fresh insights into familiar figures. The book will be valuable for all who believe that the Enlightenment cannot simply be overcome but must rather be sublated in our postmodern times."
