These modernizing professors-Arthur Cushman McGiffert at Union Theological Seminary, George LaPiana at Harvard Divinity School, and Shirley Jackson Case at the University of Chicago Divinity School-hoped to equip their students with a revisionary version of early Christianity that was embedded in its social, historical, and intellectual settings. In The Fathers Refounded, Elizabeth A. Clark provides the first critical analysis of these figures' lives, scholarship, and lasting contributions to the study of Christianity.The Fathers Refounded continues the exploration of Christian intellectual revision begun by Clark in Founding the Fathers: Early Church History and Protestant Professors in Nineteenth-Century America. Drawing on rigorous archival research, Clark takes the reader through the professors' published writings, their institutions, and even their classrooms-where McGiffert tailored nineteenth-century German Protestant theology to his modernist philosophies; where LaPiana, the first Catholic professor at Harvard Divinity School, devised his modernism against the tight constraints of contemporary Catholic theology; and where Case promoted reading Christianity through social-scientific aims and methods. Each, in his own way, extricated his subfield from denominationally and theologically oriented approaches and aligned it with secular historical methodologies. In so doing, this generation of scholars fundamentally altered the directions of Catholic Modernism and Protestant Liberalism and offered the promise of reconciling Christianity and modern intellectual and social culture. 410 0$aDivinations. 606 $aModernism (Christian theology)$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTheology$xStudy and teaching$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aChurch history$yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600$xHistoriography 606 $aLiberalism (Religion)$xProtestant churches$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aModernism (Christian theology)$xCatholic Church$xHistory$y20th century 610 $aAcademic Life. 610 $aAncient Studies. 610 $aClassics. 610 $aEducation. 610 $aReligion. 610 $aReligious Studies. 615 0$aModernism (Christian theology)$xHistory 615 0$aTheology$xStudy and teaching$xHistory 615 0$aChurch history$xHistoriography. 615 0$aLiberalism (Religion)$xProtestant churches$xHistory 615 0$aModernism (Christian theology)$xCatholic Church$xHistory 676 $a230 700 $aClark$b Elizabeth A., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0598865 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910829898403321 996 $aThe Fathers Refounded$94094879 997 $aUNINA
