Although many of Edmund Schlinks writings have been available in English for several decades, the publication of the new German edition offered a significant impetus for providing a fresh and more accurate translation of them. Matthew L. Becker translated key terms that occur in all five volumes consistently. Also, he corrected infelicitous and misleading renderings of Schlinks language into English, which more or less happened in all of the earlier editions. In this first volume, Becker presents a completely reworked translation of Schlinks popular work Der kommende Christus und die kirchlichen Traditionen.
