Der christliche Glaube - Nach den Grundsätzen der evangelischen Kirche im Zusammenhange dargestellt

The critical edition of Schleiermacher's major work, the Glaubenslehre ['Doctrine of Faith'] (published in 2003 in two part-volumes 13/1 and 13/2 of the Critical Edition of Schleiermacher's Complete Works, 1st Section) is based on the original printed second edition of 1830/31, which has been compared for the first time with the manuscript in Schleiermacher's own hand re-discovered in 1980.
This critical edition, with over 1000 improvements, some significant, compared with the Redeker edition will in future be the sole authoritative one. It is now published as a handy one-volume soft-cover textbook, with a new foreword by Rolf Schäfer, making the work accessible to interested specialist readers, in particular to students.
