Auteur: Friedrich von Hügel

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.
