Although Strauss's views on theism, on the cosmos and man's place in it, and on moral and political issues are of interest both historically and in themselves, it is his New Testament scholarship that constitutes his principal claim to lasting fame. Albert Schweitzer assessed him as "the most absolutely sincere" of theologians. This present publication reprints the English translation of 1874 and is complete except for Strauss's two appendices on German poets and German musical composers.
