The Mystical Element of Religion (Summarized Edition) (eBook)

Friedrich von Hügel (1852-1925) was an influential Austrian Roman Catholic layman, religious writer, Modernist theologian and Christian apologist. He was deeply engaged in theological discussions with a wide group of scholars associated with the turn-of-the-century Modernist controversy. Von Hügel's scholarly concerns included the relationship of Christianity to history, ecumenism, mysticism, the philosophy of religion, and the rejection of much of the immanentism in 19th-century theology. His major work was The Mystical Element of Religion, first published in 1908.
