Harnack studied at the local University of Tartu (1869–1872) and at the University of Leipzig, where he took his degree; and soon afterwards (1874) began lecturing as a Privatdozent.
In 1886 Harnack was called to the University of Marburg; and in 1888, in spite of violent opposition from the conservative church authorities, to Berlin.
Harnack was one of the most prolific and 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 beyond.

 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.

 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.
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.

 The Hellenistic Tendencies of Adolf von Harnack
The liberal Protestant Adolf von Harnack,1851-1930 is often cited by anti-Trinitarian groups such as the Mormons and the Jehovah’s Witnesses in support of their denial of the Trinity.
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 therefore viewed "Hellenization" as a priori a good thing and this was part of his preconceived mindset.

 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).

 History of the Harnack-Haus
About 75 years have passed since Adolf von Harnack, the intellectual father of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft for the Advancement of Knowledge suggested that a meeting place for German and foreign scientists be built near the KWG-institutes in Dahlem.
At the opening of the Harnack-Haus on May 7, 1929, which was also Adolf von Harnack's 78 birthday, Germany's foreign minister Gustav Stresemann said: "At a time when all powers are being gathered together (under one roof) there is a greater possibility of energy being released than under a condition of bloated saturation.
In August, 1994, the house was returned to the MPG and is being used as a guest house and event site for scientists and scientific groups pending renovation as a conference center for the MPG.

In 1926, Adolf von Harnack wrote two letters to Emmi Delbrück, his niece, who was later to become Klaus Bonhoeffer's wife.
In these letters he attempts to answer questions with which she was preoccupied in the course of an existential and religious crisis.
Harnack's letters provide a touching and theologically challenging résumé of how he understood the essence of Christian faith and disprove many of the clichés about classic German 'Kulturprotestantismus'.

Adolf von Harnack suggested that it was written by either Marcion or one of his followers, but despite scholarly examination his suggestion cannot be substantiated or denied.
