Publisher's Synopsis
""A Reply to Harnack on the Essence of Christianity"" is a philosophical work by Hermann Cremer, originally published in 1903. The book responds to Adolf von Harnack's influential work ""What is Christianity?"" and offers a critique of Harnack's understanding of the essence of Christianity. Cremer argues that Harnack's view of Christianity as a purely ethical and social movement is insufficient, and that the true essence of Christianity lies in its belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ and the salvation he offers. Cremer draws on theological and historical sources to support his argument, and engages in a nuanced discussion of the relationship between faith and reason. The book is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature of Christianity and its place in modern society.Lectures Delivered In The Summer Of 1901 Before Students Of All Faculties In The University Of Greifswald.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
