From some of the Reviews of the Work.
Dr. Marcus Dods in the British Weekly—"We cannot recall any work by
a foreign theologian which is likely to have a more powerful influence on the
thought of this country than Wernle's Beginnings of Christianity. It is well
written and well translated; it is earnest, clear, and persuasive, and above all
it is well adapted to catch the large class of thinking men who are at present
seeking some non-miraculous explanation of Christianity."
"No English book covers the same ground, or is conceived with the same
breadth and sanity; in few works in any language are learning and insight so
happily combined."—Edinburgh Review.
"The translation is well done, and the book is full of interest."—Athenæum.
