First Danish translation of Kant's "Theorie der reinmoralischen Religion" The work has no originality; but is very well adapted for its purpose, - to spare the public which desires to obtain no more than a general and superficial notion of the contents of Religion the reading of the book itself. That, indeed, is shown by the number of pirated editions. The author gives an easily understood account of the contents of Rel. in short, clear sentences, arranged in paragraphs; and endeavors to meet any possible confusion of Kant's favorite symbolical-
moral interpretation or translation of the historical facts of Christianity with a dogmatic setting of them" (Adickes 1629).
