Abstract

The writer provides a translation of the sermon delivered by the German theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher at the grave of his nine-year-old son Nathanael in 1829. An analysis of the sermon explores this most personal statement of Schleiermacher's attitude toward death and reveals the consonance between his theological reflections and the substance of his life.
