The editors have written an excellent introduction to this reader and have made a judicious selection of texts. It will make Baur more accessible in English to students and scholars alike. This is significant because Baur was the most important German Protestant theologian in the middle of the nineteenth century but has been mostly neglected and misunderstood, especially in the Anglophone world.
