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.
When wealthy Jewish industrialist David Friedlander proposed in
1799 that Berlin's Jews undergo a sham conversion to Christianity
in return for full German citizenship, he touched off a political
and theological debate that would continue to define the relation
between Jewish and German identity for more than a century. In the
series of provocative letters collected here, Friedlander,
Protestant leader Wilhelm Abraham Teller, and young Christian
theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher debate Friedlander's radical
proposal. In so doing, they grapple with many of the thorny
problems -- such as citizenship, religious tolerance, and
assimilation -- that continue to vex world political leaders today.
Richard Crouter's Introduction provides the cultural, religious,
and historical context for this compelling exchange; a postscript
by Julie Klassen reveals the ways in which Germany's minorities
continue to be marginalised more than two hundred years after
Friedlander made his passionate appeal for political liberty and
human rights.
Christian Faith is one of the most important works of Christian
theology ever written. The author, known as the "father of
theological liberalism," correlates the entirety of Christian
doctrine to the human experience of and consciousness of God. A
work of exhaustive scholarship written in deep sympathy with the
ministry of congregations and church bodies, Christian Faith has
inspired admiration and debate from all quarters of the Christian
family since its first publication in 1821. This is the first full
translation of Schleiermacher's Christian Faith since 1928 and the
first English-language critical edition ever. Edited by top
Schleiermacher scholars, this edition includes extensive notes that
detail changes Schleiermacher made to the text and explain
references that may be unfamiliar to contemporary readers.
Employing shorter sentences and more careful tracking of
vocabulary, the editors have crafted a translation that is
significantly easier to read and follow. Anyone who wishes to
understand theology in the modern period will find this an
indispensable resource.
