Abstract
This chapter outlines some of the main topics and themes found in the Introduction to the Glaubenslehre (i.e. The Christian Faith) and Schleiermacher’s Letters to Lücke. These include many of the most central and controversial terms Schleiermacher uses, terms such as piety, feeling, immediacy, and more. Following Schleiermacher’s own claims in the Letters, I offer an explicitly Christian theological interpretation of the Introduction that, contrary to the way this material is often taught and read, strongly recommends reading the Introduction through the body of The Christian Faith, and reading both together as a recognizably theological work supplemented by philosophy when useful, rather than the other way around.
