Hegel's Philosophy of World History in Theological Perspective
Peter C. Hodgson explores Hegel's bold vision of history as the progress of the        consciousness of freedom. Following an introductory chapter on the textual sources,        the key categories, and the modes of writing history that Hegel distinguishes,        Hodgson presents a new interpretation of Hegel's conception of freedom. Freedom is        not simply a human production, but takes shape through the interweaving of the        divine idea and human passions, and such freedom defines the purpose ofhistorical        events in the midst of apparent chaos. Freedom is also a process that unfolds        through stages of historical/cultural development and is oriented to an end that        occurs within history (the 'kingdom of freedom'). The purpose and the process of        history are tragic, however, because history is also a'slaughterhouse' that shatters        even the finest human creations and requires a constant rebuilding. Hegel's God is        not a supreme being or 'large entity' but the 'true infinite' that encompasses the        finite. History manifests the rule of God ('providence'), and it functions as the        justification of God ('theodicy'). But the God who rules in and is justified by        history is a crucified God who takes the suffering, anguish, and evil of the world        into and upon godself, accomplishing reconciliation inthe midst of ongoing        estrangement and inescapable death. Shapes of Freedom addresses these themes in the        context of present-day questions about what they mean and whether they still have        validity.
