Barth claimed that Herder was, "the man who more than any other deserves to be called the founder of 'historicism' and who has the doubtful distinction of having been denominated by Karl Barth 'the inaugurator of nineteenth-century theology before its actual inauguration by Schleiermacher'".
Boyle, Sacred and Secular Scriptures (2004), 15. Boyle takes the quotation from Barth, Protestantische Theologie (1985), 302: "Wie anders würden alle Dinge aussehen, wenn man von Herder, dem Inaugurator der typischen Theologie des 19. Jahrhunderts vor ihrer Inauguration durch Schleiermacher, auch sagen könnte, daß er verstanden habe, was Kirche und was Gnade ist!".
