Harnack's work is considered by experts in the field of theology to be unsurpassed. His approach isn't meant to prove any set of dogmatic beliefs, as many Christian scholars set out to do, but is one of objectivity. His factual approach isn't colored by the bias of trying to save souls or convert readers. He states early in the book that this is simply an historical approach to the question, What is Christianity? Subjects include The Leading Features of Jesus' Message, God the Father & the Infinite Value of the Human Soul, & large sections on The Gospel in Relation to Certain Problems, & The Gospel in History. He includes a study on how Roman Catholicism came into power during the 3rd to 6th centuries, & what facets or components of the Christian religion appeared during this time.”
