Schweitzer didn't dismiss Bruno Bauer as an atheist (as many do) but wrote the following in his book,"The Quest of the Historical Jesus"(1906), pages 137-160. "Bauer says: 'We save the honor of Jesus

I'll comment on how Encyclopedia 15 can be read as suggesting a kind of holistic view. A few comments on the paragraph specifically follow my comments on Hegel's holism. There are of course different
