2011 Reprint of 1901 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition; not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Adolf von Harnack (1851-1930); was a German theologian and prominent church historian. He produced many religious publications from 1873-1912. This work is a history of early Christian literature down to Eusebius of Caesarea; Harnack traced the influence of Hellenistic philosophy on early Christian writing and called on Christians to question the authenticity of doctrines that arose in the early Christian church. He rejected the historicity of the gospel of John in favor of the synoptic gospels; criticized the Apostles' Creed; and promoted the Social Gospel.

Excellent; with info to help you research lost servicemen.By A CustomerAn excellent story of the author's research into the facts concerning his brother's dimly-remembered death during World War II. The author chases down service records; mission histories; eyewitness accounts; and battle participants to reconstruct his brother's story; using that as a window on the broader subject of the infamous "Second Schweinfurt" bomber raid.Especially valuable is the book's appendix; which lists addresses of U.S. Military and other government and private organizations which make available a surprising amount of detailed information about individuals' service careers and the events attending their deaths; recoveries; and post-war "repatriations". This book induced me; with my Father's help; to turn my Uncle's loss over Vienna from a mere War Department telegram into a rich and interesting story; much to the surprise and satisfaction of my family. (See also; 'Wings of Morning: the story of the last American bomber shot down over Germany in World War II' by Thomas Childers for similar content and treatment.)7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Exemplary history.By A Customer(The numerical rating above is a default settingwithin 's format. This reviewer does notemploy numerical ratings.) Author Wood; a Professor of Anthropology; brings his professional skills to bear on his brother's death at Second Schweinfurt (October 14 1943) and in the process has produced a remarkable example of military research. In addition to the expected material on context; units; and individuals; Professor Wood's investigations turned up the manufacturing history of the airplane (down to the exact cost); the position of the plane within the ill-fated flight; the probable Luftwaffe pilot who shot it down; eyewitnesses on the ground; and more. Of particular interest is the brief history of the Graves Registration Command and its commendable work in a very difficult but unsung assignment. Thoroughly researched; beautifully readable; Professor Wood's book is a fitting memorial to Lt. Elbert Wood; navigator of the "Wicked WAAC". With photos; maps; documents; diagrams; sources; bibliography; index. First rate work; highly recommended.
