Excerpt from History of the Christian Philosophy of Religion From the Reformation to Kant
This preface will very probably seem unnecessary. The merits of Dr. Punjer's work are so great and obvious, that they can hardly fail to be recognised by all who become acquainted with it. I should gladly have left it to speak for itself; but, after having represented to the publishers and translator the desirability of making it accessible to English readers, I have not felt free to decline their request to write a few lines of introduction to it in its new form.
When Dr. Punjer died, about two years ago, he was only in the thirty-fifth year of his age. It is not surprising, therefore, that his name should be almost unknown in this country beyond the circle of professional theologians. But a brief sketch of his life may be, on this account, all the more appropriate and welcome. I derive the materials for it from the necrological notice written by Dr. Lipsius, and published in the fourth volume of the Thcologischer Jahrcsbericht.
George Christian Bernhard Punjer was born on the 7th of June 1850, at Fredericksgabekoog, in Holstein. In that obscure and uninteresting region his father was a school master, and there the boy grew up and was educated until qualified to enter a gymnasium, when he was sent to Meldorf, doubtless, in part at least, on account of its nearness. During 1870 and the two following years he studied theology at the Universities of Jena, Erlangen, Zurich, Kiel, and again Jena. He thus heard many of the most distinguished theological teachers of Germany.
