(1822-1889)
A German theologian, he taught at Bonn and Gottingen. The most influential theologian in the late nineteenth century and the principal teacher of American liberals, he focused "religious experience" upon the historical Jesus. To Ritschl religion had to be practical and rests upon the values of men, not upon the truth of science.
