(Excerpt from Das Urchristenthum, Seine Schriften und Lehr...)
Excerpt from Das Urchristenthum, Seine Schriften und Lehren, in Geschichtlichem Zusammenhang Man mag bedauern, dass wir uber die ersten Anfange der christlichen Kirche so wenig Sicheres wissen, aber die Thatsache selber ist nicht wohl zu bestreiten. Erst vom Auftreten des Apostels Paulus an, in dessen Briefen authentische Naof1richten vorliegen, lichtet sieh das geschichtliche Dunkel einigermassen; aber uber die erste Entstehung der Kirche gibt Paulus nur einige ganz durftige Andeutungen (i Cor. 15, aus welchen sich ein deutliches Bild des Hergangs nicht gewinnen lasst. 'diese Lucke wird auch durch die sputer geschriebenen Evangelien und die Apostelgeschiehte nicht ausgefullt. Wohl stimmen diese verschiedenen Zeugnisse in dem Allgemeinen uberein, dass die christliche Gemeinde entsprungen sei aus wunderbaren Erlebnissen der ersten Junger Jesu, durch welche diese die Gewissheit gewannen, dass der gekreuzigte Jesus aufer standen sei und lebe. Aber sobald wir nach dem naheren Wie und Wo dieser Erlebnisse fragen, stossen wir auf die grossten Schwierigkeiten. Das alteste Evangelium, bei welchem wir noch ain ehesten deutliche geschich?iehe Ueberlieferungen erwarten durf ten, ist unglucklicher Weise gerade an der entscheidenden Stelle verstummelt und der ausgefallene echte Schluss ist durch einen Auszug aus den spateren Evangelien ersetzt (mami 16, Die Angaben der anderen Evangelien aber sind so widerspruchsvoll.

Excerpt from The Early Christian Conception of Christ: Its Significance and Value in the History of Religion; Expanded From a Lecture Delivered Before the International Theological Congress at Amsterdam, September 1903 IT is to the great and abiding credit of the scientific theology Of the nineteenth century that it has learned to distinguish between the Christ Of Faith and the man Jesus Of history, two entities which have been identified by ecclesiastical dogma. By means of careful and toilsome critical investigation it has been shown how the dogma Of the God-man gradually took form, precipitated as it were from the intermingling Of religious ideas Of various origin with the reminiscences of the early Church concerning the life of her Master. An attempt has then been made, by means Of. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Die Entwicklung des Christentums Im Katholizismus ist es deshalb nicht geschehen, weil das Christentum fur ihn eine gegebene gottliche Groe und Stiftung ist, gegrundet durch Christus mittels der Apostel; das Dogma der Kirche gilt hier fur eine von Anfang an geoffenbarte unveranderliche Wahrheit, die nur immer herrlicher ans Licht trat; auch die Verfassung der Kirche, das bischofliche Amt, die ganze Hierarchie mit ihrer Spitze im Papst soll schon von den Aposteln gestiftet und mit ihren gottlichen Vollmachten ausgestattet worden sein; alle Veranderungen aber in der Kirchengeschichte, sagt man, seien nur die mannigfachen Weisen, wie die in der Kirche gegebene Wahrheit und Gnade von der feindlichen Welt und vom Teufel immer aufs neue angefochten wurden und wie die Kirche immer wieder alle diese Angriffe sieg reich zuruckschlug. Es gibt also hiernach nur eine Aktion nach auen; im Innern verandert sich nichts, die Kirche ist von jeher, was sie ist, als eine fertige Groe von Gott in die Welt hineingestellt; da ist keine Entwickelung, keine Umwandlung im Innern, kein Auseinandergehen in Gegen satze, nur Verteidigung und fortschreitende Durchsetzung des immer gleichen Wesens nach auen.

theologian university professor
He was born at Stetten im Remstal (now a part of Kernen, Baden-Württemberg) in Württemberg.
From 1857 to 1861 he studied at the University of Tübingen under Ferdinand Christian Baur, and afterwards in England and Scotland.
Through his writings and his lectures, he became known as one of the most influential representatives of liberal theology. He then entered the ministry, became tutor (German: Repetent) at Tübingen, and for a short time held a pastorate at Heilbronn (1868). In 1870 he became chief pastor and superintendent at the University of Jena and soon afterwards professor ordinarius of theology, but in 1875 he was called to the chair of systematic theology at Berlin, having made his name by a series of articles on New Testament criticism and Johannine and Pauline theology, which appeared in Adolf Hilgenfeld"s Zeitschrift für wissenschaftliche Theologie, and by his Der Paulinismus, published in 1873.
Das Urchristentum, seine Schriften und Lehren, in geschichtlichen Zusammenhang beschrieben was published in 1878 and considerably enlarged for a second edition in 1902.
In 1890 appeared The Development of Theology since Kant, and its Progress in Great Britain since 1825, which was written for publication in England. A more elaborate work was his Religionsphilosophie auf geschichtlichen Grundlage (1878).
In 1894 he delivered the Gifford Lectures at Edinburgh, the subject being "The Philosophy and Development of Religion." His later publications included:
The Early Christian Conception of Christ (1905)
Die Entstehung des Christentums (1905)
Religion und Religionen (1906)
Die Entwicklung des Christentums (1907). He died at Groß-Lichterfelde, near Berlin.
In New Testament criticism, Pfleiderer belonged to the critical school, which grew out of the impulse given by F. C. Baur.
However, like other modern German theologians, he showed a greater disposition to compromise. All his work shows a judicial tone of mind, and is remarkable for the charm of its style. Pfleiderer"s younger brother Edmund Pfleiderer distinguished himself both in philosophy and theology.
Through his writings and his lectures, he became known as one of the most influential representatives of liberal theology.
