This reader of texts from the influential 19th-century theologian
Ferdinand Christian Baur (1792-1860) brings together a selection of
texts in English translation from across Baur’s wide range of
exegetical, historical, philosophical and theological expertise. In
these excerpts, including many translated for the first time,
readers gain a comprehensive overview of Baur’s output and his
remarkable role in the shaping of modern scholarly discourse in his
fields. Beginning with a full scholarly introduction, and
extensively annotated texts, readers are introduced to Baur’s
bold and controversial historical hypotheses and encounter the
variety of intellectual and stylistic registers he used, from the
purely scholarly to the sharply polemical. The editors also explore
the ways in which Baur was instrumental in some of the most
fundamental intellectual paradigm shifts of the 19th-century,
including the radical historicization of Christian theology and its
interaction with Schelling, Hegel, and the German Idealist
tradition.

This study offers a fresh, thorough engagement with Paul's use of
Deuteronomy, paying full attention to the concrete realities of
Paul's exposure, in life and literature, to Torah. David Lincicum
compares Paul's handling of Deuteronomy to the treatment of
Deuteronomy in other contemporary Jewish sources. He shows how this
key book of Jewish Scripture was influential in Jewish life and
liturgy and how it bears on Paul's relationship to the Law.
Originally published by Mohr Siebeck in the Wissenschaftliche
Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament series, this work is now
available as an affordable North American paperback.
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conclusions, though superseded, have been mostly affirmed during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.
