Das Wesen des Christentums. First edition, first printing of "these lectures on 'The Essence of Christianity' by the then professor of church history at Berlin University... received with an enthusiasm unparalleled for centuries in the field of religious pamphleteering. They proclaimed the fundamental concord of the tenet of the early Church as preserved in the non-Roman Churches with the religious aspirations, the intellectual climate and the social and economic morality of the twentieth century; and innumerable reprints and translations broadcast this message of liberal Protestantism all over the world" (PMM).
