	David Strauss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strauss resumed his literary activity by the publication of Der Romantiker auf dem Thron der Cäsaren, in which he drew a satirical parallel between Julian the Apostate and Frederick William IV of Prussia (1847).
		Strauss applied his theories with merciless vigour, especially his mythical theory that the Christ of the gospels, whose life was bult upon the meagerest of details, was the unintentional creation of early Christian Messianic expectations.
		Strauss also held a narrow theory as to the miraculous, and a still narrower one as to the relation of the divine to the human.

		Strauss would seal his fate by undertaking this endeavor, suffering the backlash of critics and religious authorities who condemned his attempt at applying a consistent historical method to the Gospels of the New Testament.
		Strauss thus served as a prophetic figure, drawing on a wide influence of philosophical and theological ideas, and ushering in a new age of enlightened scholarship.
		Hegel's major contribution, that influenced Strauss, was the shift of focus on the literal interpretation of those things in theology that he considered to be symbols for a higher truth.

		Strauss argues that this approach destroys the plain meaning of the text: the text purports to report a miracle.
		Strauss also attacked the supernaturalist reading of the text, which asserted that taking the text seriously means believing that Jesus really multiplied five loaves and two fishes into an amount sufficient to feed 5,000 people.
		Strauss invites us to enter into the scene by asking us to imagine when the multiplication could have occurred and what we might have seen if we had been there.

	Boston Collaborative Encyclopedia of Western Theology: David Friedrich Strauss
		David Friedrich Strauss was born on January 27, 1808 in Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart in Germany as the son of a merchant.
		Strauss claimed that the study of the New Testament had been dominated either by supernaturalism or by naturalism in terms of biblical interpretation, and insisted that myth was the hermeneutical key to the New Testament, especially to the study of the Gospel accounts of Jesus.
		Strauss was the first figure to raise in such a radical way the questions of the historical accessibility to Jesus, and of the possibility to separate the Jesus of history from the Christ of faith.

	David F. Strauss Taken to the Woodshed
		Strauss naturally rejects any typological use of the OT by the NT writers, although unlike many critics, he does know that it was a type of exegesis used by the rabbis.
		That Strauss was too snotty (in line with the god of deism and his position as a well-fed ivory-tower scholastic) to recognize this, and that God cares intimately for His subjects and is willing to descend to their level (is this not what the Incarnation involved?), is his own problem.
		Strauss perceives that this miracle would have had tremendous apologetic value, but aside from simply and groundlessly assuming a wild inconsistency of thinking on Luke for the sake of his theory, Strauss fails to realize that the rending could have no apologetic value by itself until Temple sacrifices were stopped.

		Strauss, a Hegelian, sees the mythological explanation of the gospel as the synthesis of its (thesis) supernaturalistic explanation and the (antithesis) rationalistic interpretation.

		Strauss also began to investigate the budding new discipline of textual criticism of the Bible, a practice which did not find favour with university authorities, nor with most clergymen, nor with his parents.
		Strauss learned that this historical Jesus was by no means identical with the risen Christ, as he was later represented in the gospels or in church dogmas.
		Strauss also claims – thus showing his leftward Hegelian leanings – that God is only active indirectly in the world, i.e., through the laws of nature, and that (the historical) Jesus was not divine.

		When Strauss and his student friends entered on their duties as clergymen, the others found great difficulty in bringing their theological views into line with the popular beliefs which they were expected to preach.
		The point to which Strauss applies his criticism is the way in which the Christian theology which grew out of the ideas of the ancient world has been brought into harmony with the Christianity of rationalism and of speculative philosophy.
		Strauss did not think there was any ground for making a hero of this agitator, merely because he had been shot, and was not inclined to blame the Austrian Government very severely for meting out summary justice to a disturber of the peace.

		(1872), Strauss abandons Christianity altogether and turns to a critique of theism in general: Relying on contemporary science and leading philosophers, he rejects God as the creator of the universe and humankind, the divinity of Christ, and the reality of miracles (the Old Faith), thus confining religion to the domains of history, myth, and ethics.
		With the Christian cosmology underminded, Strauss constructs a new view of the university and humanity's place in it which is grounded in science and technology, Darwinian evolution, and inductive reasoning (the new Faith), all of which hold out the hope of finding true solutions to human problems.
		Strauss was truly a pioneer in the history of freethought, often resisted because freethought requires the audience to give up much of what had long been accepted as undeniably true.

		the double enumeration of David, and thus be liable to the same charge of inconsistency as in the former case, since the double enumeration is made between the second and third divisions, and not between the first and second.
		For, from David to Nathan, the line traced by Luke has no correspondence with any Old Testament genealogy, excepting in two of its members, Salathiel and Zorobabel; and even with respect to these two, there is a contradiction between the statement of Luke and that of 1 Chron.
		When Luke however, in the twenty-first and twenty-second generations from David, gives the very same names that Matthew (including the four omitted generations), gives in the nineteenth and twentieth, one of these names being of great notoriety, it is certainly impossible to doubt that they refer to the same persons.

	Master: Strauss
		Strauss was one of the founders of the mythological school of the history of Christianity.
		According to Strauss the Gospels are an aesthetic and philosophical work, but not historical, not a conscious fraud but an unconscious invention.
		Although Strauss accepted the basic historical outline of Jesus' life as recorded in the Gospels, he argued that this framework was embellished by the early church's imagination as they came to interpret OT prophecies in light of Jesus.

	Dickens & Strauss (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		David Friedrich Strauss discusses the treatment of Jesus as an historical figure instead of the Son of God in his writing, "The Life of Jesus Critically Examined." He first discusses that a mythus, which is a myth that has connection with Scripture, has two phases.
		He believes that the Jews are not a reliable source because they "saw predictions everywhere in the writings of their prophets and poets," and that Jesus is "sketched after the pattern of these prophecies and prototypes," thus leading him to see the details of Jesus as more mythical than historical.
		Strauss believes that this bit of information originated to make a connection between the mother of John the Baptist and the mother of the Messiah.

		David Friedrich Strauss was a 19th Century theologian and philosopher whose criticism and eventual abandonment of Christianity was considered radical in his time.
		Strauss deserves to be recognized as the best recorder of ideas with which the most intellectual pretenders to culture intoxicated themselves with their beer, but the jump from Christianity to this, the contrast called forth by the title of this book, is hardly any indication of any great leap forward.
		After Strauss was buried, Nietzsche wrote to one of his friends that he could hope "that I did not sadden his last months, and that he died without knowing anything about me. It's rather on my mind." (11 February 1874) It might also be on the mind of anyone who reads this book today.

		David Friedrich Strauss and Ludwig Feuerbach were contemporaries, not only in time but also in thought.
		For example, in his discussion of the transfiguration of Jesus, Strauss refers to rationalist scholars who sought to explain away the supernatural nature of the event by suggesting that it was an internal experience or dream on the part of the disciples, and perhaps of Jesus himself.
		Strauss uses a historical hermeneutic of suspicion to argue that the Gospel stories don't correspond to actual events, but rather reflect the ideas and hopes of a community.

		Such was not the case in the country which gave birth to the school of which David Friedrich Strauss is perhaps the most notorious and most distinguished representative.
		By 1860 Strauss claimed that his ideas had so permeated German thought that no educated person could believe in the literal truth of the Bible.
