Matthew L. Becker translated key terms that occur in all five volumes consistently. Also, he corrected infelicitous and misleading renderings of Schlink’s language into English, which more or less happened in all of the earlier editions. In this first volume, Becker presents a completely reworked translation of Schlink’s popular work “Der kommende Christus und die kirchlichen Traditionen.
