Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Voices of the Church in Reply to Dr. D. F. Strauss, Comprising Essays in Defence of Christianity The following pages contain several essays - in part original, in part translated - intended to furnish the English reader with some means of becoming acquainted with the aims and tendencies of the work by Dr. Strauss, entitled Das Leben Jesu, kritisch bearbeitet von Dr. David Friederich Strauss, 2 vols. 8 vo, fourth edit. 1840; as well as of forming a calm estimate of the justness of its principles, the accuracy of its argumentation, the soundness of its views, and its general bearing on the historical verity of the gospel. This reply was undertaken in consequence of the wide diffusion in this country - not least among the labouring classes - of opinions and impressions adverse to Christianity, derived more or less immediately from the efforts and publications of Dr. Strauss. Even where the Leben Jesu was not known, and could not be read, a conviction has prevailed, that some great work had been put forth in Germany, which, as being destructive of the Christian religion, its ministers in England wished to keep from the knowledge of the people, and were afraid even to study themselves. So untrue and unsound a state of feeling may well be regarded with regret, if not alarm, by every enlightened disciple of Christ. The present work will enable the reader to judge how far the attack made by Strauss on the historical foundations of our common faith is of so deadly a character as may have been supposed. As this is the first work in the English language which addresses itself to the Straussian controversy, it seemed improper to give a reply until the general nature of the objections was made known. Accordingly, the first Essay in the ensuing pages is designed to set forth the views which Dr. Strauss has advanced. In drawing up the statement which it contains, the writer was solicitous to give a fair and candid account. The same love of equal-handed justice has animated him throughout the volume, alike in the selection of his materials, and in the use which has been made of them.
