History of the development of the doctrine of the person of Christ

Originally published in German in the mid-19th century, this seminal work by Isaak August Dorner remains a cornerstone of 19th-century Christology. Dorner intended the study to provide a comprehensive historical survey of how the doctrine of the person of Christ evolved from the early church through the Reformation, aiming to reconcile orthodox dogma with the burgeoning critical scholarship of his era. It serves as an exhaustive reference for theologians seeking to understand the synthesis of historical analysis and systematic theology.

This specific edition, published by Nabu Press in 2010, is a print-on-demand reproduction of an earlier public domain release. These editions are designed to make scarce academic and historical texts accessible to contemporary scholars and students who require physical copies of out-of-print archival materials. While the Nabu Press production is utilitarian in design, it preserves the original scholarly content of Dorner’s extensive research, which has been widely respected in divinity circles for its intellectual rigor and detailed historiography.
