(Excerpt from History of the German People at the Close of...)
Excerpt from History of the German People at the Close of the Middle Ages, Vol. 1 of 2 The actual field of his labours was speculative science, and his work in it the reform of ecclesiastical learning. In his system of theology he brought into harmony a variety of con?icting tenets which had hitherto been fiercely battled over in the scholastic camp. For its originality and depth of thought, its clearness of detail, its breadth of conception, and its organic unity, this work may be compared to the great monuments of German Christian architecture of the period. He inaugurated a better understanding of the great masters of ancient scholastics, raised Mysticism from the dark abyss of Pantheism to the more clearly defined conception of God and the universe,' and Opened the way for a more scientific handling of the whole teaching of Christian faith. But it is in the well-known pamphlet in which he pleads for the casting aside of all religious strife, for the establishment of one common creed, and the gathering together of all mankind under the one Catholic Church of Rome, that the spirit of the Cardinal, at once so truly philosophical and so deeply imbued with genuine Christian love of humanity, re veals itself most characteristically.

He was born at Xanten, Germany on the 10th of April 1829.
Johannes Janssen was educated as a Roman Catholic at Munster, Louvain, Bonn and Berlin.
He was first a teacher of history at Frankfort-on-the-Main
He was ordained priest in 1860; became a member of the Prussian Chamber of Deputies in 1875; and in 1880 was made domestic prelate to the pope and apostolic pronotary.
Janssen was a stout champion of the Ultramontane party in the Roman Catholic Church.
In his work "Geschichte des deutschen Volkes seit dem Ausgang des Mittelalters"
he shows himself very hostile to the Reformation, and attempts to prove that the Protestants were responsible for the general unrest in Germany during the 16th and 17th centuries. The author's partisanship led to some controversy, and Janssen wrote "An meine Kritiker" and "Ein zweites Wort an meine Kritiker" in reply to the "Janssens Geschichte des deutschen Volkes" of M. Lenz, and other criticisms.
The Geschichte, which has passed through numerous editions, has been continued and improved by Ludwig Pastor, and the greater part I of it has been translated into English by M. A. Mitchell.
