  Boston Collaborative Encyclopedia of Western Theology: Adolf von Harnack
Harnack urged a ‘critical reduction of dogma,’ in the spirit of reform that retrieves Christianity from the misadventures of the historical church.
Harnack channeled his patriotism primarily in the wide range of administrative and cultural responsibilities; he was the editor of the Theologische Literaturzeitung for 29 years, the Rector of the University of Berlin, Director of the Royal Library, and the first president of the Kaiser-Wilhelm Foundation.
Harnack’s theory that there was a kernel of evangelical truth to be reached by peeling off the layers of dogma, law, and custom that are folded around it by the Church was answered by Loisy with the idea of a “seed” that grew continuously from its planting by Jesus to its present form and stature.

  Adolf Harnack
Adolf Harnack (May 7, 1851 - June 10, 1930), German theologian, was born at Dorpat, in Russia, where his father, Theodosius Harnack (1817?1889), held a professorship of pastoral theology.
In 1886 Harnack was called to Marburg[?]; and in 1888, in spite of violent opposition from the conservative section of the church authorities, to Berlin.
Harnack, both as lecturer and writer, was one of the most prolific and most stimulating of modern critical scholars, and' trained up in his "Seminar" a whole generation of teachers, who carried his ideas and methods throughout the whole of Germany and even beyond its borders.

 Thoughts on the Biography of Adolf von Harnack
In his memorial lecture for Adolf von Harnack, in the Prussian Academy of Science in the year 1931, Hans Lietzmann spoke of the famous lectures held a generation ago on the "The Essence of Christendom." He asserted how inadequate the view of the Christian faith developed therein appears to the present generation.
But since a presentation of the theology of Harnack will presumably never be written, simply because he was never a real theologian in the strict sense, it will be the task of a history of the nineteenth century to produce this supplementation.
Harnack, however, felt himself neither then or later called to be a reformer, and in many questions took a mediating position, which to radical Liberalism always appeared as a denial of the acknowledged truth.

 Boston Collaborative Encyclopedia of Western Theology: Adolf von Harnack
Adolf’s father’s pious loyalty to Luther’s ideas, combined with the scholarly approach to the matters of religion, made a decisive impact on Adolf Harnack’s understanding of theology as vocation (Glick 1967, 23).
His task, Harnack was convinced, was to dedicate his energies to the development of "the freedom of thought, of pursuing truth on every path, the freedom from interference by those who have been given authority in human institutions" (Rumscheidt 1989, 33).
The changes that in Harnack’s view were imposed upon the original, simple truth revealed in Christ, Loisy saw as being the responses of a living organism having the force to survive, and by doing so feeding off the country in which it found itself.

 The Predicament of the Christian Historian1
Adolf von Harnack was one of the most celebrated humanistic scholars of his time and, by common consent, the outstanding–and the most controversial–historian of Christianity in the learned world.
Harnack insisted upon its being historically verifiable that universality was not merely a speculative construct so that only the particulars were real, and on the other hand that it was not a reality unto itself so that the particulars could be ignored; but that the "universalia in rebus" were both real and knowable.
Therefore Harnack emphasized the message of Jesus as "religion itself" (iv, 41), as well as the claim of Christianity, even of a highly particularistic orthodox Christianity, "that in the doctrines with which it was opposing its adversaries it had given expression to religion itself" (xi,129).

 The Hellenistic Tendencies of Adolf von Harnack
Harnack was a 19th century German scholar, who taught at Leipzig (1874) and was professor at Giessen (1879), Marburg (1886), and Berlin (1889-1921).
Harnack viewed Marcion as some kind of hero in his work of "Hellenization" as he viewed Judaizing tendencies in religion as somehow primitive.
Harnack therefore viewed "Hellenization" as a priori a good thing and this was part of his preconceived mindset.

Harnack’s classic study of the relationship between history and Christianity asks the difficult question of just how much Christianity relies on historical veracity for its basis.
Boldly addressing the objections that history is tied to development or principle, Harnack argues that the personality of Jesus, and thus Christianity, survives despite the necessity of historical criticism.
The impact of Harnack’s logic during the period of the first quest for the historical Jesus would be hard to exaggerate.
