Ferdinand Christian Baur (1792-1860) has been described as "the
greatest and at the same time the most controversial theologian in
German Protestant theology since Schleiermacher." The controversy
was epitomized by a nineteenth-century British critic who wrote
that his theory "makes of Christianity a thing of purely natural
origin, calls in question the authenticity of all but a few of the
New Testament books, and makes the whole collection contain not a
harmonious system of divine truth, but a confused mass of merely
human and contradictory opinions as to the nature of the Christian
religion." The contributors to this volume, however, regard Baur as
an epoch-making New Testament scholar whose methods and
conclusions, though superseded, have been mostly affirmed during
the century and a half since his death. This collection focuses on
the history of early Christianity, although as a historian of the
church and theology Baur covered the entire field up to own time.
He combined the most exacting historical research with a
theological interpretation of history influenced by Kant,
Schelling, and Hegel. The first three chapters discuss Baur's
relation to Strauss, Moehler, and Hegel. Then a central core of
chapters considers his historical and exegetical perspectives
(Judaism and Hellenism, Gnosticism, New Testament introduction and
theology, the Pauline epistles, the Synoptic Gospels, John, the
critique of miracle, and the combination of absoluteness and
relativity). The final chapters view his influence by analyzing the
reception of Baur in Britain, Baur and Harnack, and Baur and
practical theology. This work offers a multi-faceted picture of his
thinking, which will stimulate contemporary discussion.
