Un altro testimone indiretto per O alto e glorioso Dio.

2021 - Leo S. Olschki

P. 295-301

  • This article provides the Italian reader with the translation of a 1919 short story by the German theologian Erik Peterson (1890-1960), the second and relatively successful publication of a scholar whose work, on the contrary, gained a certain degree of resonance, albeit of good quality, only among the experts of the field. The translation follows a brief introduction to the theologian's personality which tries to shed light on the biography and character of an author often mistakenly depicted as strict and austere. One is convinced that brightening up some of these often-overcast features requires a fresh look at the events of the young Peterson's life as a student and Privatdozent in Göttingen (1912-1924).
