Herman Schell (1850-1906) and Ernst Troeltsch (1865-1923) represented progressive positions within their own Roman Catholic and Lutheran traditions. Their attempts at providing a theological understanding of Christianity within the context of turn-of-the-century apologetics are explored, contrasted and compared. Finally, conclusions are drawn as an ecumenical contribution to appropriating the history of Christian thought on the non-Christian religions of the world.
