Troeltsch, Ernst

Troeltsch, Ernst
(1865-1923)
A German philosopher and theologian, contemporary and close friend of Max Weber, who also made a major contribution to the sociology of religion (see his The Social Teaching of the Christian Churches, 1911, and Protestantism and Progress, 1912). Like Weber-whom he influenced greatly-Troeltsch was interested in the interrelationship of the material and ideal elements in social life. Again, like Weber and in criticism of Karl Marx, he insisted that religious beliefs could act as an independent variable influencing the development of material factors. His ‘church-sect typology’ subsequently proved influential in characterizing religious movements. See also sect.
