The present work, entitled in German Reichgottes und Menschensohn, created an even greater impression, and has had to be reckoned with in all subsequent studies of the person and work of Jesus Christ, particularly on the point of his "Messianic self-consciousness." The English translation was first published in 1938. This is a reprint of the substantially revised edition of 1943.
