The Life of Jesus, Critically Examined was one of the most
controversial and hotly contested books of its time. One reviewer
stated that it was "the most pestilential book ever vomited out of
the jaws of hell." Strauss rejected the idea of miracles in the
Bible, instead crediting them as mythical stories used to
demonstrate a point. He also discredits Jesus's divinity,
dissecting the New Testament and pointing out that Jesus was simply
a manifestation of who the Jews wished their Messiah to be. The
book was translated from its fourth German edition in 1843 by
George Eliot. David Friedrich Strauss (1808-1874)was a German
theologian and author who focused his work on the critical study
and examination of Jesus. Strauss' most famous and acclaimed work
was The Life of Jesus, Critically Examined, but he wrote many other
books defending his position on the divinity of Jesus, which he
denied. While his position was hotly debated and highly unpopular
at the time, his work has had a great impact on the study of
Christianity, the New Testament, and early religions today.
