Chapter XXXVI: Appendix (6)

[235] On this subject I refer to Lützelberger's work: "Die Kirchliche Tradition über den Apostel Johannes und seine Schriften in ihrer Grundlosigkeit nachgewiesen," and to Bruno Bauer's "Kritik der Evangelischen Geschichte der Synoptiker und des Johannes" (B. iii.).

[236] In another place Luther praises St. Bernard and Bonaventura because they laid so much stress on the manhood of Christ.

[237] It is true that in Catholicism also--in Christianity generally, God exists for man; but it was Protestantism which first drew from this relativity of God its true result--the absoluteness of man.
