Reviews
Few nineteenth-century books on the Bible remain as rewarding as Baur's last lectures. They offer an accessible update of the pioneering historical research of his Paul, The Canonical Gospels, and Church History, which shaped New Testament studies for over a century. Combining historical exegesis and reconstruction with theological interpretations indebted to Kant's ethical idealism they offer a model for understanding the texts in new cultural contexts. Excellently translated by Robert Brown and introduced by Peter Hodgson, this great synthesis should correct some stale stereotypes and give due recognition to a genius unjustly neglected outside Germany. It could also contribute to the revival of critical New Testament theology. * Robert Morgan, University of Oxford *
