Acknowledgments
In 1983, during the commemoration of the five hundredth anniversary of Martin Luther's birth and the centennial observation of Karl Marx's death, I began my archival research on the Vermittlungstheologie in the (then) German Democratic Republic. In the no less auspicious year of 1990, as East and West Germany reunited, I concluded that research. I wish to thank the staff of the Katechetisches Oberseminar, the custodians of the August Tholuck Papers, for their hospitality during my stay in 1983. I also wish to give particular thanks to the faculty and staff of the John F. Kennedy Institute for North American Studies in the Free University Berlin for inviting me to spend the winter semester of 199091 as a visiting professor in the stimulating atmosphere of that institute and university.
