A keen student of theology, August Friedrich Gfroerer (1803-61)
became professor of history at the University of Freiburg and also
sat as a representative in the Frankfurt parliament, agitating for
the reunification of Protestantism and Catholicism. His academic
work marked the modern period in the Christian study of Judaism,
making full use of primary sources without pursuing an obvious
apologetic or polemical agenda. This two-volume work, published in
1831, is a critical study of early Christianity and the influence
that Judaism had on the New Testament. Volume 2 is devoted to
substantiating the thesis that the core principles of Philo's
theology were already discernible among the Alexandrian Jews.
Gfroerer traces how Philo's theology and philosophy were
transplanted to Palestine via such sects as the Therapeutae and the
Essenes as well as through the historian Josephus. The Apocrypha
serve as Gfroerer's main primary source.
