Modernity and the emergence of historicism -- Nineteenth-century German historicism -- Historicism in America -- Toward a contemporary historicism.

"No other movement or insight has challenged Christian theology so steeply in the modern period as historicism. The two-hundred-year-old notion that concepts, ideas, and theories all are influenced or occasioned by historical circumstances is today a commonplace in all fields. Davaney's authoritative text traces with clarity and skill the history of historicism and its various meanings, for the German Enlightenment through its Continental and distinctly American developments to its contemporary postmodern incarnations."--Jacket.
