The German theologian David Friedrich Strauss (1808 1874) published
his highly controversial The Life of Jesus in three volumes between
1835 and 1836. This translation, by George Eliot, is based on the
fourth German edition (1840). In this work Strauss applied strict
historical method to the New Testament gospel narratives and caused
scandal across the Protestant world by concluding that all
miraculous elements were mythical and ahistorical. Volume 3 applies
modern historical criticism to 'de-mythologize' the narratives of
the transfiguration, Jesus' final journey into Jerusalem, the
passion, the death, and the resurrection; and investigates the
historicity of Jesus' enemies. The volume concludes with an essay
entitled 'The Dogmatic Import of the Life of Jesus'. This is a key
text of nineteenth-century theology that pioneered the application
of historical and scientific methods to the study of religious
texts. It is essential reading for any student of the New
Testament.
