This book offers the first English translation of Friedrich
Schleiermacher's "On the Doctrine of Election" (1819), a historic
and influential essay published just before the first edition of
Schleiermacher's magisterial systematic theology: The Christian
Faith. In this essay, Schleiermacher develops a view of election as
consisting of a single divine decree of both election and rejection
that embraces all humanity--a theological development that became
basic later for Karl Barth's treatment of election (Church
Dogmatics II/2). Schleiermacher also seeks to support the church
union movement between Lutherans and the Reformed by examining the
doctrine of election in light of the New Testament and historic
confessional traditions. This edition is enhanced by the
translators' incisive introduction and a foreword by noted
Schleiermacher scholar Terrence N. Tice.
