Spaces of Modern Theology 
Geography and Power in Schleiermacher’s World

As stories of borders, territorial disputes, and migration have escalated in recent years, so too space has emerged as a critical concept in theoretical literature. This book explores the imagination of space at the dawn of modern, liberal theology in the writings of Friedrich Schleiermacher. Schleiermacher wrote against the backdrop of expanding European colonialism and nationalism, providing a powerful ethics of space for a rapidly shrinking planet. Selectively appropriated, Schleiermacher’s spaces of modern theology can be a valuable contribution to contemporary attempts to theorize the importance of space and place in human geographies.
