Book Review Clarification<\/em><\/p>

My review [LQ 38 (2024): 451\u201353] of the American Edition of Edmund Schlink\u2019s\u00a0Ecumenical Dogmatics<\/em>, which was edited and translated by Matthew Becker, did not clearly identify the improvements that Becker made in his edition over the German original or its recent republication. The American Edition makes Schlink\u2019s references into footnotes, includes additional citations that were not included in the German edition, provides a complete bibliography, and adds more than 500 editorial notes that provide background information and cross-references to Schlink\u2019s many publications. These editorial decisions make the American Edition more accessible and easier to use than the German edition, whose references occur in the body of the text and are not uniform.<\/p>

Edmund Schlink (1903\u201384) published his Ecumenical Dogmatics in German in 1983, only a year before his death. Although much of\u00a0Schlink\u2019s work was translated into English in his own lifetime, the\u00a0Dogmatics was not. English readers now have the work, not only a\u00a0remarkable contribution to theology on its own, but also Schlink\u2019s\u00a0integration of nearly all of his work into a singular theological vision.\u00a0For the anniversary of his birth in 2003, a group of German\u00a0 scholars and students of Schlink collected his works in a German edition,\u00a0comprising five volumes. The publisher also commissioned Matthew\u00a0Becker to edit\u00a0 and translate the whole series into an English edition,\u00a0of which two volumes have already appeared. Theologians and historians of Lutheran theology and\u00a0 ecumenism will benefit from this\u00a0translation.<\/p>
