Wright introduces the concept of natural theology and explores the historical and philosophical forces that caused many theologians to question it in the modern era. Wright explains how skepticism toward Christianity intensified throughout the 18th and 19th centuries due to the devastating “wars of religion,” scientific developments, and the harsh realities of a world often described as “red in tooth and claw.” The trauma of World War I further accelerated this crisis, leading influential theologians like Karl Barth to reject natural theology in favor of divine revelation alone. Topics discussed include: • What natural theology is • The rise of modern skepticism • Enlightenment challenges to faith • Karl Barth’s rejection of natural theology • The impact of World War I on theology • Christianity, suffering, and divine revelation If you enjoy theology, philosophy, church history, and deep Christian discussions, subscribe for more content.
