First sentence: When Johannes Weiss published his Die Predigt Jesus vom Reiche Gottes7 he could never have known the impact that it would have on the study of the synoptic tradition in the 20th century, because the book initially met with stiff resistance, and it was only with the publication of Schweitzer's Von Reimarus zu Wrede a few years later that its claims became widely accepted.
