Theologische Bibliothek Töpelmann is dedicated to scholarship in systematic theology and philosophy of religion. The series is open to all scholarly fields that address any aspect of systematic theology in a broad sense. This includes research on questions of dogmatics, ethics, history of theology in all epochs, philosophical approaches to theology and religion as well as projects that combine biblical studies with theological issues. The name of the series recalls the heritage of the influential publisher Alfred Töpelmann (1867-1954).
Habilitationsschrift 2004, Universität Aarhus, Dänemark.
"The continued publication of the critical edition of the Schleiermacher works has stimulated fresh research. Peter Grove has taken advantage of these resources and made an important, indispensable contribution to Schleiermacher scholarship."
Francis Schüssler Fiorenza in: Theological Studies 9/2007
"[...] eine umfassende und innovative Untersuchung zur Subjektivitäts- und Religionstheorie Schleiermachers. [...] eine beeindruckende Arbeit, die einen wesentlichen, den Forschungsstand voranbringenden Beitrag [...] leistet."
Alf Christophersen in: Theologische Literaturzeitung 4/2007
"If a scholar studying Schleiermacher's comprehensive thought would be allowed only one book on a 'wish' list of recently published books on Schleiermacher, then that scholar would have to ask for Peter Grove's weighty monograph. The book is a scholarly tour de force."
Christine Helmer in: International Journal of Systematic Theology 8/2006
"[...] Grove's detailed argumentation as well as his historical knowledge make this book essential for all further research on Schleiermacher."
Cornelia Richter in: Ars disputandi 2005
"[...] ein außerordentlich gelungenes Opus, die erste Gesamtdarstellung von Schleiermachers subjektivitäts-theoretischer Deutung der christlichen Religion. Es wird zweifellos ein Standardwerk werden."
