  Wikipedia: David Strauss
David Friedrich Strauss (January 27, 1808 - February 8, 1874), was a German theologian and writer.
Amongst the principal masters in the school were Professors Kern and F.C. Baur, who taught their pupils a deep love of the ancient classics and the principles of textual criticism, which could be applied to texts in the scared tradition as well as to classical ones.
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).

 David Strauss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amongst the principal masters in the school were Professors Kern and FC Baur, who taught their pupils a deep love of the ancient classics and the principles of textual criticism, which could be applied to texts in the sacred tradition as well as to classical ones.
Strauss applied his theories with merciless vigour, especially his mythical theory that the Christ of the gospels, whose life was built 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.

 Encyclopedia: David Strauss
Strauss was a young man when he published his two volume work of over 1,400 densely written pages.
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
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.
According to Strauss, one of the main reasons for rejecting the concept of myth in New Testament studies is due to its long connection with pagan religions and a false idea that myth is mainly found in primitive cultures in which written records of events were not common.
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.

 Rothbard on Strauss by David Gordon
Strauss did not then appear, whether rightly or wrongly, as the supposed mastermind behind an aggressive American foreign policy.
Strauss wished to replace the ironclad restrictions on the state, imposed by natural law rightly understood, with the "prudential" judgments of political leaders who aim to enhance national power.
As Strauss sees matters, classical and Christian natural law did not impose strict and absolute limits on state power; instead, all is left to the prudential judgment of the wise statesman.

DAVID STRAUSS: It was setting the stage for an event at the Buddhist temple on April 29th, but there is nothing that one can infer from this that that would necessarily be a fund-raising event.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Strauss, David Friedrich
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.

Strauss effectively demolishes their arguments by showing that they do not fit the plain sense of the texts and are usually harder to swallow than simple belief in the miracle itself.
Strauss belongs to the 18th and 19th century German Protestant rationalist theological movement that tried to explain all the miracles of the Bible 'rationally'.

On 10 June 1933, Strauss wrote to inform Carl Schmitt that the Rockefeller Fellowship had been awarded to him for a second year and that he intended to study at Paris for another semester and then go to England to study Hobbes in the early part of 1934.
In 1970, Strauss referred to his Ph.D. thesis as a “disgraceful performance” (Strauss and Green, 1997, page 460), however this may have been due to Jacob Klein already having referred to his own Ph.D. as “not worth the paper on which it was written”, Strauss and Green, 1997, page 458.
