Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Confessional History of the Lutheran Church The sad service, and yet a privilege, was assigned me by the author of this volume to preface his work by a few words expressive of the conditions of its issue. Professor Richard, after a brief yet severe illness lasting but five days, passed away, March 7th, from earthly labor in the full vigor of mental and physical life. Only one-half of the proof matter of the volume received his personal examination and correction before his death. This volume is the finis as well as the ripe fruit of his studies for twenty years in this department of scholarly research. It was the intention of the author to append to his volume a bibliography of the literature pertaining to this subject, and consulted by him in its preparation; but his sudden removal by death precluded the execution of the purpose. Fully two hundred volumes, chiefly Latin and German, were consulted, all of which are in the libraries of the Theological Seminary and of Pennsylvania College, save about twenty volumes, some not purchasable and borrowed, and several examined in the library of the University of Leipzig. It would doubtless have been a great pleasure to the author to read the reviews and criticisms of his work, and to elucidate and substantiate the claims resulting from his researchful labors. But he has now left the truth to vindicate itself on the pages of history. He labored to reach objective facts, and to relate them according to his consciousness of historic verity, a consciousness illumined by wide researches. The loss to the Theological Seminary of his living personality can only in part be compensated by a wide circle of readers who may be interested in this historic subject, and desire to be profited by his fruitful investigations and his gift of creedal discipline. Recognition is due Professors J. 0. Evjen and K. J. Grimm for their kind service of final proof reading and critical suggestions.
