Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Text-Book of the History of Doctrines, Vol. 1 The first edition of Hagenbach´s History of Doctrines was published in Germany in 1841. Mr. Buch´s translation of this edition appeared in Edinburgh in 1846; a second edition, comprising a part of the additions to the second German edition (1848), was issued in 1850; and a third, without further revision or alteration, in 1858. Meanwhile, the German work was so favorably received, that it appeared in a third, and a fourth (1857) edition, each containing improvements and additions. All these improvements are comprised in the present revision, together with citations from other authors, and references to the more recent German, as well as English and American literature. Among the works most freely used in making these additions are Gieseler´s Dogmengeschichte, 1855; Neander´s Christliche Dogmengeschichte, edited by Jacobi (translated by J.E. Kyland, London, 1858); and, particularly, the second edition of Baur´s Dogmengeschichte, 1858. The latter work, though affected by the theological prepossessions of the author, recently deceased, exhibits a thorough knowledge of the different shades of opinion, as well as of the general characteristics of each period. The additions thus made to the Edinburgh edition, and to the text of Hagenbach, increase the matter of the volume about one third. What is added to Hagenbach, is uniformly indicated by brackets; and tins includes some references and citations by the English translator. Those passages, too, have been translated, which were there omitted, because "they were found to be of such a nature as to convey little definite meaning in translation." The value of Dr. Hagenbach´s work is attested by the constant demand for new editions in Germany, in the midst of much competition. It has, as a text-book, its peculiar merits and advantages, in giving a candid and compressed statement of the main points, fortifying every position by exact and pertinent citations from the original sources.
