Talk:Adolf von Harnack

confirm
Added to the article a reference to Harnack's endorsement of Germany's going to war in 1914, which was such a huge influence on Barth. (Should be confirmed on the Barth page--it's common knowledge.)  ---Andersonblog -- 16 May 2006

"His writings should be used with caution by modern scholars."
Should wikipedia include a normative statement like this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.54.54.200 (talk) 21:51, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Old testament
Not a word on his marcionism and relationship to judaism. Not a word. Jytdog (talk) 03:52, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Loaded Second Paragraph entirely unsourced. Sad.
Harnack traced the influence of Hellenistic philosophy on early Christian writings and called on Christians to question the authenticity of doctrines that arose in the early Christian church. He rejected the historicity of the Gospel of John in favor of the Synoptic Gospels, criticized the Apostles' Creed, and promoted the Social Gospel.


 * this is around 7 controversial statements, and none of them are sourced at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.10.50.11 (talk) 18:21, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
