The purpose of this edition is to offer translations of the modern German edition of Kant's work in a uniform format suitable for Kant scholars. This volume collects all of Kant's writings on religion and rational theology. These works were written during a period of conflict between Kant and the Prussian authorities over his religious teachings. His final statement on religion was made after the death of King Friedrich Wilhelm II in 1797. The historical context and progression of this conflict is charted in the general introduction to the volume and in the translator's introductions to particular texts. All the translations are new with the exception of The Conflict of the Faculties, where the translation has been revised and re-edited to conform to the guideline of the Cambridge Edition. As is standard with all volumes in this edition there are linguistic and explanatory notes, and a glossary of key terms.
