Synopsis

This book is a drama written in 1779, which was considered a time of Enlightenment. The author, grappling with his own religious philosophy, explores how religion should be used to unite rather than divide. In the wake of a religious controversy, he challenges the idea of learned theologians who are unable to see the truth of religion and focuses instead on the personal, moral nature of the individual. This classic work of German literature encapsulates debates about religion, philosophy, and the path to a higher education of the soul. It asks challenging questions about the meaning of faith and what truly makes a person righteous.
