page 309 note 1 This excerpt is translated by Terrence N. Tice of Ann Arbor, Michigan, from two long open letters to his close friend and former student Friedrich Lücke which Schleiermacher published in 1829 in anticipation of the forthcoming second edition of his dogmatics (1830–1). It comes from the close of the first letter. The critical edition of these letters has been edited by Mulert, Hermann: Schleiermachers Sendschreiben über seine Glaubenslehre an Lücke (Giessen, 1908), 68 ppGoogle Scholar. Professor Tice points out that although the specific reference here is to his preliminary treatment of the doctrine of God in Part I of The Christian Faith, later greatly supplemented and qualified by the explicitly christocentric treatment of the doctrine of God in Part II, the statements also succinctly reveal his general intentions even for the most technical and abstract aspects of theological work. As such they provide a fitting and timely word from Schleiermacher in anticipation of his two hundredth birthday, 21st November 1968. The observation by Karl Immanuel Nitzsch appeared in a review article on a book by Delbrück, in Theologische Studien und Kritiken, 1 (1828), p. 656Google Scholar. On ‘individuality’ in theology see the index of Schleiermacher's, Brief Outline on the Study of Theology, also translated by Professor Tice (John Knox Press, Richmond, Virginia, 1966).Google Scholar
