Under the patronage of two south German nobles, Johann Lorenz Schmidt published an annotated translation of the Bible's opening books in 1735. The story of the controversy the work aroused and of its eventual suppression sheds light on many aspects of the eighteenth century, as well as the nature of censorship in our time.

Paul S. Spaulding holds a Ph.D. from the University of Iowa and an M.Div. from Yale University. He served as a pastor before embarking on his teaching career.

"This readable book is based on thorough research in German archives. The amount of information provided is impressive, and of considerable interest throughout."
