Remarkable to finally have Bayer’s Promissio in English. A long awaited gift.

Just heard about this. Big news that we’ll have a sturdy edition of these works by Hamann in English.

In honor of Bayer's Promissio coming into English with LQ Books, we've been gathering photos and quotes to celebrate Bayer's work. Here's one from his visit to Princeton in 2001 with Paul Rorem, editor.

Bayer: “I was struck by the fact that Bultmann, like Schleiermacher, only wanted to speak of God in the mirror of the human recipient, while Luther, on the other hand, insists that it is necessary to define the human recipient on the basis of the God who speaks.”

"The promise is therefore to be understood primarily in the present sense and only secondarily in the future sense. It is not a promise that will only be fulfilled in the future. Rather, it is a speech act that as such enacts reality, constitutes reality, brings it about." –Bayer
