David Friedrich Strauss is a central figure in 19th century
intellectual history. The first major source for the loss of faith
in Christianity in Germany, his work Das Leben Jesu was the most
scandalous publication in Germany during his time. His book was a
critique of the claims to historical truth of the New Testament,
which had been the mainstay of Protestantism since the Reformation.
As the father of unbelief, his critique of Christianity preceded
that of Nietzsche, Marx, Feuerbach, and Schopenhauer. His views
imposed a harsh fate upon him - he was persecuted for his beliefs
by religious and political authorities and was denied employment in
the university and government, forcing him to live as a free-lance
writer. He led a wandering and isolated life as an outcast. Here,
Frederick C. Beiser studies the intellectual development of Strauss
and recounts his fate, which began in faith as a young man but
finally ended in unbelief.
