Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review, 1892, Vol. 3 HE rapid growth Of the Ritschl school Of theology in Ger many during the last twenty years is a phenomenon which, whatever may be one's estimate Of the theology itself, is deserving Of careful attention. Though it may not yet have produced any marked impression in our own country, past experience shows that it cannot in the long run fail to find zealous representatives and advocates among us. It is well, therefore, to inquire what its merits and defects are. If our judgment is on the whole unfavor. Able, it will have to be in spite Of the most extravagant claims of the adherents Of the Go'ttingen theologian. They have inherited from him, as we may say, an arrogant assumption, a 'claim to little short Of infallibility for themselves, accompanied by an almost contemptuous condemnation Of all Opinions dissonant from theirs. While such a tone naturally provokes Opponents to vigor, or even bitterness, in their Opposition, we shall seek to exercise a dispassion ate judgment in the examination which we now undertake.
