"No work on Church history in recent times has had the influence of Prof.
Harnack's History of Dogma."—Times.
"A book which is admitted to be one of the most important theological works
of the time."—Daily News.
WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY? Sixteen Lectures delivered in
the University of Berlin during the Winter Term, 1899-1900. By
Adolf Harnack. Translated by Thomas Bailey Saunders. (New
Series, Vol. XIV.) Demy 8vo, cloth, 10s. 6d.; half-leather, suitable
for presentation, 12s. 6d.
Prof. W. Sanday of Oxford, in the examination of the work, says:—"I may
assume that Harnack's book, which has attracted a good deal of attention in this
country as in Germany, is by this time well known, and that its merits are
recognised—its fresh and vivid descriptions, its breadth of view and skilful
selection of points, its frankness, its genuine enthusiasm, its persistent effort to
get at the living realities of religion."
"Seldom has a treatise of the sort been at once so suggestive and so
stimulating. Seldom have the results of so much learning been brought to bear
on the religious problems which address themselves to the modern mind."—Pilot.
"In many respects this is the most notable work of Prof. Harnack....
These lectures are most remarkable, both for the historical insight they display
and for their elevation of tone and purpose."—Literature.
