Max Weber's thesis concerning the relation between ascetic Protestantism and the capitalist spirit, first published in 1905, engendered a discussion among scholars that has continued until today. Weber became internationally known beyond a narrow circle of specialists through this discussion. The reception of the thesis has been in no sense unanimous. It continues to differ according to scholarly interests, with the reactions of sociologists, historians, and specialists in religion being particularly illuminating. Until today, the thesis has been widely accepted in the more systematic-theoretical works of social scientists and has met with qualified approval by theologians and other specialists in religion
