The magazine Die Christliche Welt (initially: The Christian World ) was the most important ecclesiastical and religious magazine of cultural Protestantism . It was edited by the Marburg theologian Martin Rade and appeared from 1887 to 1941.

History of the Christian World

On November 21, 1886, a sample number was published under the title Evangelical Lutheran Community Gazette for the educated members of the Protestant churches . The first year (1887/1888), published in Leipzig by Friedrich Wilhelm Grunow, also operated under this name. The next volume (1888/1889) then appeared under the title The Christian World. Protestant bi-monthly publication published by Leopold Klotz.

After Rade had finished the editorial work due to age, the magazine was published in 1932 and 1933 by Hermann Mulert and Friedrich Siegmund-Schultze , then by Mulert alone.

With the 55th year, the Christian World stopped its publication in October 1941.

Chronicle of the Christian World

To relieve the Christian world of daily news, the chronicle of the "Christian World" was published from 1890 to 1917 (year 1/1890 to year 27/1917).

To the friends

Printed “confidential communications” were used to facilitate communication between the friends of the project. They appeared between 1903 and 1934 under the title An die Freunde. Confidential d. i. Notices not intended for the public (Association of Friends of the Christian World) (1 / 1903–111 / 1934).

In addition, there was a club house in Friedrichroda, Thuringia, from 1918 until the 1930s (“House of the Christian World”, Schreibersweg 6).

Booklets for the Christian World / Library of the Christian World

Thematic in-depth information (and extended or revised reprints of articles in the magazine) were offered by the booklets on the Christian World (edited by Martin Rade, Ferdinand Kattenbusch and Gustav Habermann ), which were published by JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) in Tübingen (1 / 1892–50 / 1901; NF 1 = 51.1904-10 = 60.1907). The foundation of this series was triggered by the conflict in the so-called Apostolicum dispute . The Library of the Christian World was published in 1924 and is a collection of theological monographs on mostly systematic-theological topics (up to 1929 twenty-seven volumes).
