"The series of Baur translations expertly introduced and edited by
Professor Hodgson is helping English-speaking students to a deeper
understanding of the Enlightenment and Idealist contributions to
modern western Christianity. . . . It throws fresh light on
perennial issues: the relationship of philosophy and theology,
tradition and modernity, church and state, governance, ecumenism,
academic freedom."
--Robert Morgan, University of Oxford
"The lectures on the nineteeth century are one of Baur's most
valuable works. The author here describes the history of church and
theology as a contemporary. The pages concerning himself and
Strauss are highlights of his report and make the work precious as
a primary source. In his foreword the learned editor gives a short
survey of the history of this book and its essence just as
well-informed remarks on Baur's conception of history."
--Ulrich Köpf, Professor, University of Tübingen
"The value of this volume for students of nineteenth-century German
theology and church history, both Protestant and Catholic, consists
in the unique insights it offers on major thinkers who shaped the
theological debates of this period. These are the insights of a
towering theological figure who was himself a participant in these
debates, and whose legacy we are now in a better position to
appreciate due to the recent and ongoing efforts of Hodgson and
Brown."
-- Todd Gooch, Professor, Eastern Kentucky University
