Excerpt from The Scientific Study of the Old Testament: Its Principal Results, and Their Bearing Upon Religious Instruction
When I was asked some months ago by the Ministry of Public Worship and Education for the Kingdom of Saxony whether I was willing to deliver a course of six lectures to elementary school teachers on the subject of the authentic results of Old Testament research, congratulating the authorities upon their readiness to arrange educational courses dealing with the results of theological science, I assured them that I regarded it as my obvious duty, in so important a matter, to place all my knowledge and experience at their disposal.
The reasons which induced the Government to make such a proposal need hardly be explained. The question of religious instruction in the schools, particularly in the elementary schools, had become a burning one all over Germany. We, in the Kingdom of Saxony, are reorganising our elementary school system.
