Extract

The following memorial, which I publish with the approval of the Prussian Minister of Worship and Education, is to inform the public at large of the establishment of an American Library of Theology at the University of Marburg. The scientific aims of this Library have the full approval not only of the Prussian government, but also of the theological Faculty of the University, of which I am a member. Thanks to a well-wisher, a German living in America, whose generosity made possible the founding of the Library, the Prussian government was in a position at the beginning of this year to call it actually into being, and to establish it at the University of Marburg as an official institution.

2 Müller's, W. new book, Das religiöse Lebeu in Amerika (Jena, Diedericks, 1911)Google Scholar, represents the beginning of such a collection in German. It could well have been more thorough and scientific.

3 An extreme example of this is Thompson's article on the alleged persecution of the Christians at Lyons in 177 A.D., in The American Journal of Theology (July, 1912, pp. 358–384), and the withering criticism of the article by Harnack, A. in the Theologische Literaturzeitung, Nov. 3, 1913, p. 74 ff.Google Scholar

4 See E. C. Moore's recent book, An Outline of the History of Christian Thought since Kant. Prof. Macintosh, D. C. has given an account of this book in The Yale Divinity Quarterly, January, 1913, p. 103 f.Google Scholar I do not think that his opinion about the future of Kantianism is in any way correct. Prof. Macintosh does not know sufficiently the modern philosophical development in Germany, which is as a whole founded on Kant.
