Intellectual historical research on the influence of the World War I on the Cultural Protestantism

本文旨在探讨第一次世界大战对所谓“文化新教”神学思想的影响。为此，本研究分析了在战前就已经行动的老一辈神学家和在知识界崭露头角的年轻神学家如何展示他们对战争的思考和战后的设计，这是本研究的特点，以避免天真的世代争论。我把神学家描述为“arriere-garde”，他们属于老一代，但分享年轻一代的利益。“先锋派”的概念极有可能弥合老一代和年轻一代之间或保守派和自由派思想家之间的差距。

This research aims at shedding on the influence of the World War I on the theological thoughts of the so called "Cultural Protestantism". For that purpose, this research analyzes how the theologians belonging to the old generations who had already acted before the War and the younger theologians who came on the intellectual world demonstrated their thought about the War and the design after the War.It is the feature of the research is to avoid the naive generational arguments. I characterize the theologians as "arriere-garde" who war belonging to the old generations but shared the interest of the young generations. There is the strong possibility that the concept of "arriere-garde" can bridge the gap between the old and young generations or the conservative and the liberal thinkers.
