Excerpt from Protestantism in Germany
There is a very large German literature on the origin and development of the territorial system, but I am not aware of any English work cover ing the same ground. The requirements of the lecture platform have compelled me to restrict myself to the more outstanding features of the subject and to a limited number of references, and to pass over many details of fact and opinion that might have been profitably introduced in a formal history. I have also thought it best to allow German scholars to speak in their own words very frequently lest I might seem to have been guilty of misrepresentation.
Finally, I wish to thank the Faculty of Prince ton Theological Seminary for the many kind nesses I have experienced at their hands, and especially for the high honor they conferred upon me in inviting me in 1916-17 to deliver as lec tures on the L. P. Stone Foundation the chapters of this volume.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of Protestantism in Germany, with a specific focus on the early teachings of Martin Luther. The author traces the evolution of Luther's views on church government, from his initial support for congregational self-governance to his eventual acceptance of the territorial system, where the secular authority played a dominant role in the regulation of religious affairs. The book examines the influence of Luther's ideas on the formation of Protestant churches in Germany, highlighting the tensions between the principles of the Reformation and the political realities of the time. It also discusses the consequences of the territorial system for the development of German Protestantism and its impact on the relationship between church and state. Through extensive analysis of historical sources, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the origins and evolution of Protestantism in Germany, shedding light on the enduring legacy of Martin Luther's teachings and the complex interplay between religious and political forces in shaping the history of Protestantism.
