 Christ in Spinoza and Reimarus: Prophet, Philosopher, or Rogue?
To Reimarus, however, Christ is a one with either a feeble or deceptive mind; Jesus is an historical figure motivated by selfish intentions, neither a prophet nor a philosopher and certainly not the moral teacher in communion with God that Spinoza depicts.
Reimarus examines Scripture as an historical text, telling the historical narrative of a man named Jesus who came not as a redeemer or moral philosopher as adherents to Christianity imagine him, but rather as a man desiring to be the temporal Messiah of the Israelite nation.
For Reimarus, looking into who Jesus is a task of historical analysis of particular events and particular meanings, while for Spinoza, determining whether Christ was a prophet or philosopher depended on the universal aspect of Christ's teaching and shunned particulars of Jesus' life.

 Excerpt from the Introduction to The Five Gospel by the Jesus Seminar
The question of the historical Jesus was stimulated by the prospect of viewing Jesus through the new lens of historical reason and research rather than through the perspective of theology and traditional creedal formulations.
A close study of the New Testament gospels convinced Reimarus that what the authors of the gospels said about Jesus could be distinguished from what Jesus himself said.
It was with this basic distinction between the man Jesus and the Christ of the creeds that the quest of the historical Jesus began.

 18th Century German Philosophy Prior to Kant
In Halle, the chief representative of pietism was August Hermann Francke (1663-1722), who had been brought there by Thomasius.
The decline was prompted not only by the criticisms offered by the Thomasians, but also by the internal developments of Wolffianism proposed by various of Wolff's disciples.
Hermann Samuel Reimarus (1694-1768), for instance, developed a rationalist critique of revelation, arguing that for the rational person religion had to be based on reason (Apologie oder Schützschrift für die vernünftigen Verehrer Gottes, published posthumously).

 The Problem of Miracles
Strauss rejected the conspiratorial theories typified by the Deist Hermann Samuel Reimarus as characteristic of the eighteenth century's simplistic, naive approach to matters of religious belief.

 Mark and His Readers: The Son of God Among Jews
When Bathsheba bore a son she named him Solomon, but "Yahweh loved him and sent instructions through Nathan the prophet that he was to be called Jedidiah," which means "beloved one of Yahweh" (2 Sam 12:24-25).
The allusion in Mark 1:11 to Isa 42: I, "I take delight in you," interprets the allusion to Ps 2:7, "You are my son," by placing the emphasis on the relationship of Jesus to God, presumably one of election.
This line of reasoning was taken to an extreme by Hermann Samuel Reimarus, who attacked the traditional dogmas of Christian faith, in the form of the Protestant orthodoxy of his day, from the rationalist perspective of the German Enlightenment and English Deism.
