Creative Tension: The Spiritual Legacy of Friedrich Von H?gel

By Ellen Leonard

Book Overview

Ellen M. Leonard's study of Baron Friedrich von H gel's life, thought, and spiritual vision rediscovers this important Catholic voice from the turn of the 20th Century. H gel was a lay theologian who maintained both his personal equilibrium and his spiritual leadership role during the complex days of the "modernist movement." H gel sees three elements of religion: the authoritative, historical, and institutional; the critical, speculative, and philosophical; the intuitive, vocational, and mystical. Leonard's study concentrates both on H gel's writings and spiritual activities.
