Michael de Nie University of Wisconsin-Madison Die katholisch-theologischen Disziplinen in Deutschland 1870-1962: ihre Geschichte, ihr Zeitbezug. Edited by Hubert WoLf (with Claus Arnold). [Programm und Wirkungsgeschichte des II. Vatikanums, Band 3.] (Paderborn : Ferdinand Schöningh. 1999. Pp. 408. DM 108 paperback.) The book examines "the history of the theological disciplines and cultural changes in Germany before the Second Vatican CouncU," especiaUy from 1870 to 1962. Each of the thirteen essays focuses on the work of German-speaking scholars in relation to international developments. This review gives a glimpse of each essay. H. G. Reventlow describes the early exegesis of P. Heinisch and A. Sanda on the Pentateuch, G. Hoberg and H. Herkenne on the Psalms, J. Göttsberger on Second Isaiah, and A. Scholz and M. Schumpp on the Book of Tobit. After considering German contributions to the Church's teachings on the Bible, H. J. Klauck reviews the history of the Biblische Zeitschrift, Bíblica, and Bibel und Kirche. H.Wolf discusses studies in church history (e.g.,by L. Pastor,A. Ehrhard, and W Neuss); he observes that these scholars distanced their work from theology in order to strengthen their historiography while avoiding conflicts with the Vatican. D. Berger traces the unfolding of two kinds of apologetics and fundamental theology: the MoUnist (inductive) way of J. Kleutgen and H. ScheU, and the Thomistic (deductive) way of M.J. Scheeben and R. Garrigou-Lagrange. To show the changes in dogmatic theology, R Walter examines the ecclesiologies of the manuaUsts, B. Bartmann and L. Ott, and also of innovative theologians such as M. J. Scheeben, M. Schmaus, and K. Rahner. D. Nebel (with A. Dadder and D. Lüdecke) contributes a complete Ust of CathoUc professors of fundamental and dogmatic theology from 1870 to 1962 in forty-two German-speaking universities and Hochschulen in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. J. Reiter describes the recent history of Catholic moral theology: NeoScholastic works from 1869 to 1900 (e.g., F. Probst), foundational writings from 1900 to 1933 (e.g., J. Mausbach), and theological and christocentric orientations from 1933 to 1962 (e.g., A. Auer). A. Habisch points out that CathoUc social ethics evolved as leaders such as Bishop W Ketteler and F. Hitze addressed workers' needs; it matured after 1918 through the efforts of men like H. Pesch, G. Gundlach, and O. von NeU-Breuning. book reviews351 W Fürst explains that practical or pastoral theology, as defined by C. Krieg, was developed by scholars such as L. Bopp and F. X. Arnold. According to G. Collet , missionary efforts in the second half of the 1800's led to critical reflections on the Church's aims and methods in its missions—reflections initiaUy undertaken by R. StreitJ. SchmidUn, and F Schwager. A. Häring treats studies of canon law by recent commentators (e.g., R. Puza and R. Weigand) as well as by earlier commentators (e.g.,J. F. von Schulte and N. Grass); he concludes by discussing contributions to canon law (e.g., by R. Dove and K. Mörsdorf). Concerning liturgical studies, B. Kranemann reviews the works of key figures in the 1800's such as P. Guéranger and F. X. Schmid, and of contributors in the 1900's such as R. Guardini, O. Casel,J. Jungmann, and B. Fischer. In the concluding essay, R Hünermann describes two tendencies in this history . First, theology has moved from the single, deductive method of NeoScholasticism to a critical discipline involving many sub-disciplines. Second, church officials have increasingly conflated the longstanding distinction between the episcopacy's role of cathedrapastoralis and the theologians' role of cathedra magistralis. Hünermann proposes that retaining this separation of roles wUl nurture the vitality of the Church. This book contains consistently excellent essays and provides a wealth of information and insight for scholars of Catholic theology and German thought. RobertA. Krieg, C.S.C.
