BIOGRAPHY

He was born at Stappenbeck near Salzwedel in Prussia n Saxony .

He studied at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin and the University Of Halle , and in 1890 became ''professor ordinarius'' of Theology at the University Of Jena . He belonged to the Tübingen School . Fond of emphasizing his independence of Ferdinand Christian Baur , he still, in all important points, followed in the footsteps of his master; his method, which he is wont to contrast as ''Literarkritik'' with Baur's ''Tendenzkritik'', "is nevertheless essentially the same as Baur's" ( Otto Pfleiderer ).

On the whole, however, he modified the positions of the founder of the Tübingen school, going beyond him only in his investigations into the Fourth Gospel . In 1858 he became editor of the ''Zeitschrift für wissenschaftliche Theologie''.
