Description
David Friedrich Strauss's groundbreaking theological work applies rigorous historical method to the gospel narratives in this Cambridge Library Collection edition. Originally published between 1835 and 1836, this translation by George Eliot draws from the fourth German edition (1840) and revolutionised biblical scholarship by subjecting miraculous accounts to modern scientific criticism. Strauss's controversial conclusion that all miraculous elements were mythical and ahistorical scandalized the Protestant world and established new standards for scriptural analysis. Volume 1 begins with a comprehensive survey of de-mythology in Western thought before examining the annunciation and birth narratives through the lens of strict historical-critical method. This seminal work remains essential reading for scholars of theology, philosophy, and the history of biblical interpretation.

Key Features

Volume 1 includes foundational survey of de-mythology in Western thought before detailed analysis of birth narratives.
