influences (p. 235),
which completely altered the theological tone; viz. ({~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}) New systems of
speculative philosophy; of Jacobi, who followed out the _material_ element
of Kant's philosophy (p. 235); and of Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel, who
followed out the _formal_ (p. 238). ({~GREEK SMALL LETTER BETA~}) The "romantic" school of poetry
(p. 239). ({~GREEK SMALL LETTER GAMMA~}) The moral tone, generated by the liberation wars of 1813.
(p. 240.) ({~GREEK SMALL LETTER DELTA~}) The excitement caused by the theses of Harms at the
tercentenary of the Reformation in 1817. (pp. 240, 241.)

The result of these is seen (p. 241) in

(1) An improved doctrinal school under Schleiermacher (pp. 241-250),
(description of his _Glaubenslehre_, p. 245 seq.); and under his
successors, Neander, &c. (pp. 250-252.) (2) An improved critical tone (p.
252 seq.) as seen in De Wette and Ewald, which is illustrated by an
explanation of the Pentateuch controversy (pp. 254-258).

Concluding notice of two other movements to be treated in the next lecture
(p. 259); viz.

(1) an attempt, different from that of Schleiermacher, in the school of
Hegel, to find a new philosophical basis for Christianity; and (2) the
return to the biblical orthodoxy of the Lutheran church.

Remarks on the benevolence of Providence in overruling free inquiry to the
discovery of truth. (pp. 259-261).

Lecture VII.

_Free Thought in Germany subsequently to 1835; and in France during the
present century._

FREE THOUGHT IN GERMANY (continued).--History of the transition from Period
II. named in the last lecture, to Period III. (pp. 262-274.)

Explanation of the attempt, noticed pp. 242, 259, of the Hegelian school
to find a philosophy of Christianity. Critical remarks on Hegel's system,
(pp. 263-267-267); its tendency to create an "ideological" spirit in
religion (p. 264):--the school which it at first formed is seen best in
Marheinecke. (p. 265.)

The circumstance which created an epoch in German theology was the
publication of Strauss's _Leben Jesu_ in 1835 (p. 266). Description of it
({~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}) in its critical aspect (pp. 267, 270), which leads to an explanation
of the previous discussions in Germany concerning the origin and
credibility of the Gospels (pp. 268, 269); and ({~GREEK SMALL LETTER BETA~}) in its philosophical,
as related to Hegel (p. 270); together with an analysis of the work (p.
271). Statement of t
