What is Christianity?

Meer over het boek

Focusing on early Christian literature, the work delves into the influence of Hellenistic philosophy on Christian writings up to Eusebius of Caesarea. Adolf von Harnack challenges the authenticity of early doctrines, questioning the historicity of the gospel of John while favoring the synoptic gospels. He critiques the Apostles' Creed and advocates for the Social Gospel, providing a thought-provoking analysis of the development of Christian thought. This 2011 reprint preserves the original 1901 edition's insights, reflecting Harnack's significant contributions to theology and church history.
