Adolf Schlatter

Trying to reconcile Adolf Schlatter's theological profundity with his unfortunate obscurity has proven puzzling to a host of scholars. How could this great German theologian and author, with over 400 publications to his credit, be so overlooked by American Christians?In an effort to introduce Schlatter to a new generation of English-speaking believers, Robert Yarbrough has provided this easy-to-read translated biography of "one of the greatest biblical theologians of the twentieth century." Adolf Schlatter (1852-1938) was a theological professor, writer, pastor, and speaker whose vision was for a more intellectually vigorous and orthodox German Protestant theology.Adolf Schlatter is not a technical analysis of the theologian. Rather, Werner Neuer describes his biography as a "sketch" which introduces the man and the Christian in order to "do justice to Schlatter's significance for theology and church history." This sketch is complemented by sixty photographs and numerous excerpts from Schlatter's writings.
