Repristination theology
Example of a book assigned to Repristination Theology: Eduard Rupprecht's Introduction to the Old Testament from 1898
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the term repristination theology denoted a conservative counter-movement against modern or liberal theology . The origin of the word (from Latin: restituere in pristinum = to return to the previous state) shows that the Lutheran or Reformed orthodoxy was used . Towards the end of the 20th century, the term repristination theology was increasingly replaced by fundamentalism . However, this attribution is controversial in research.
