Hermann Samuel Reimarus (1694-1768) Synopsis

English summary: Dietrich Klein's book on Hermann Samuel Reimarus, the famous radical enlightened critic of the Bible, presents a complete overview of Reimarus' theological writings, their contents, their intentions, both critical and apologetic, their historical background and their place in Reimarus' intellectual biography. Klein's study explores the back of Lessing's Wolfenbuttel Fragments and focuses on how the Radical Enlightenment in Germany was rooted in Protestant theology and thought. As a learned critic and an apologist for Protestant truth, Reimarus was a distinguished European scholar.


German description: Hermann Samuel Reimarus ist bekannt als der Hamburger Fragmentist und der geheimnisvolle Autor der bibelkritischen Fragmente, mit denen Gotthold Ephraim Lessing wahrend des Fragmentenstreits an die Offentlichkeit getreten ist. Dietrich Kleins umfassende Analyse zum theologischen Werk des Hamburger Radikalaufklarers Reimarus beleuchtet die bislang wenig beachtete Ruckseite der Fragmente, und legt die gelehrten Traditionen offen, die Reimarus in seinem theologischen Denken vereint. Sowohl in seiner radikalen Kritik als auch in seinem Einsatz fur genuin protestantische Wahrheiten ist Hermann Samuel Reimarus ein Aufklarer von europaischem Rang.
