Abstract

Friedrich Scheleiermacher gave a fresh and long lasting impulse to protestant theology by identifying the essence of religion as lying not in knowledge, whether of a scientific or metaphysical kind, nor in the moral sense, or can not be found as the conclusion of an argument, but in a specifically religious emotion, the feeling of absolute dependence. He argued; Arid philosophy of religion which issued in Deism and ِDogma of the Church is not truly religion but true religion is "the immediate consciousness of the universal existence of all finite things in and through the infinite, and of all temporal things in and through the eternal". True religion is sense and taste for the infinite.
