H.J. Holtzmann's Life of Jesus According To
HOLTZMANN’S LIFE OF JESUS ACCORDING TO THE ‘A’ SOURCE: PART 1 Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus Vol. 4.1 pp. 75-108 John S. Kloppenborg DOI: 10.1177/1476869006061780 © 2006 SAGE Publications University of Toronto London, Thousand Oaks, CA Toronto, ON, Canada and New Delhi http://JSHJ.sagepub.com ABSTRACT H.J. Holtzmann’s Die synoptischen Evangelien (1863) is not only regarded as having established Markan priority and the basic contours of the Two Source hypothesis; it also offered a sketch of the life of Jesus based on a Mark-like source that represents a starting point for the so-called ‘Liberal Lives of Jesus’ which prevailed from 1863 until the early 1900s. Holtzmann’s ‘Life’ portrayed Jesus as an exemplary personality, and posited psychological development in seven stages in the career of Jesus. This essay discusses the intellectual context leading to Holtzmann’s book and then offers an annotated English translation of Holtzmann’s ‘Life of Jesus’. This is Part 1 of a two-part essay. Key words: D.F. Strauss, F.C. Baur, H.J. Holtzmann, Liberal Lives of Jesus, Markan priority, theories of psychological development, synoptic problem, Ur- Markus The early 1860s marked an important turning point in the study of the historical Jesus. This transition was related to at least three developments: the demise of the Tübingen school, which had up to that point dominated the study of the early Jesus movement in Germany; a turn away from speculative theology and philoso- phy rooted in Hegel’s philosophy of history and a return to Kantianism; and the ascendancy of theories of Markan priority and the waning influence of the Griesbach hypothesis, which put Matthew as the earliest of the Synoptics, a theory advocated by Wilhelm M.L. -

Life and Work
1 LIFE AND WORK . Ancestry and Early Years GUSTAV THEODOR FECHNER was born on April , in Gross-Särchen, a village situated on the Neisse river in the southeastern region of Lower Lusatia.¹ His father, Samuel Traugott Fechner (–), had been a pastor there (prob- ably Lutheran) since , as his father before him had also been. Fechner’s mother Dorothea Fechner (–), née Fischer, descended likewise from a regional pastoral family. From childhood on Fechner himself, the second of five children, was meant to join the clergy, too. His older brother Eduard Clemens (–) became an artist and moved to Paris in , where he later died. The three younger siblings were Fechner’s sisters Emilie, Clementine, and Mathilde. Fechner’s father has been described as a typical pastor of enlightened times: of a zealous nature, yet open-minded for progress. He was the first in his region to have a lightning rod mounted on the church; he upset the congregation by not wearing a wig during sermons; he had his children vaccinated, and he was a passionate fruit-grower. His young children were taught Latin—at the age of three, little Theo (Fechner’s nickname) spoke Latin as fluently as he did German. Fechner’s mother was affectionate, cheerful, friendly, and poetic, a woman who gathered a social circle around herself in all of life’s situations. Following their father’s premature death in , both sons were sent for a Copyright © Michael Heidelberger from Nature From Within History few years to their maternal uncle, also a pastor, in Wurzen and Ranis in Thuringia. In Gustav Theodor was enrolled in secondary school in Sorau (now called Zary), a town near the village where he was born; later he spent two years at the School of the Cross in Dresden, where the Fechner children were reunited with their mother. -

5 Idealism and Naturalism in the Nineteenth Century
5 Idealism and Naturalism in the Nineteenth Century Sebastian Gardner 1. Introduction The nineteenth century may be regarded as comprising the first chapter in the story, as it must appear to us now, of idealism’s long-term decline and of the eventual ascent within the analytic tradition of a confident and sophisticated naturalism.1 The chief landmarks of both developments are fairly clear. The former begins with Kant’s Critical Philosophy and the great systems of Fichte, Schelling and Hegel, a rich legacy which is re-explored continuously over the course of the century and provides the basis for myriad novel positions, leading in the final quarter of the nineteenth century to a renaissance of absolute idealism in Anglo-American philosophy. The story of the growth of naturalism may be taken to begin with Auguste Comte and to develop through John Stuart Mill and Herbert Spencer to Richard Avenarius and Ernst Mach, receiving an important impetus from the mid-century German materialism of Karl Vogt, Ludwig Bu¨chner, Jacob Moleschott and Heinrich Czolbe (see Gregory 1977), as well as of course, after the publication of The Origin of Species in 1859, Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, which found forceful advocates in figures such as Thomas Henry Huxley and Ernst Haeckel. The neo-Kantian development which established itself in Germany from the 1860s and 1870s onwards has a place in the trajectories of both idealism and naturalism. Both of these narratives, sketched here in the briefest outline, require elaboration not merely through the addition of numerous other and less salient figures and movements but also through an account of their context: namely, the exponential growth of scientific knowledge witnessed in the nineteenth century, especially in physics, physiology and experimental psychology, together with the profound cultural shift accompanying the achievements and industrial applications of modern science, to which belongs the erosion of the institutional bases of Christian theism and demise of its intellectual authority. -
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Personalism
03/05/2017 Personalism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Personalism First published Thu Nov 12, 2009; substantive revision Mon Dec 2, 2013 Although it was only in the first half of the twentieth century that the term personalism became known as a designation of philosophical schools and systems, personalist thought had developed throughout the nineteenth century as a reaction to perceived depersonalizing elements in Enlightenment rationalism, pantheism, Hegelian absolute idealism, individualism as well as collectivism in politics, and materialist, psychological, and evolutionary determinism. In its various strains, personalism always underscores the centrality of the person as the primary locus of investigation for philosophical, theological, and humanistic studies. It is an approach or system of thought which regards or tends to regard the person as the ultimate explanatory, epistemological, ontological, and axiological principle of all reality, although these areas of thought are not stressed equally by all personalists and there is tension between idealist, phenomenological, existentialist, and Thomist versions of personalism. 1. What is personalism? 2. Personalism’s historical antecedents 3. European personalism 4. American personalism 5. Eastern personalism 6. Characteristics of personalist thought 6.1 Human beings, animals, and nature 6.2 The dignity of the person 6.3 Interiority and subjectivity 6.4 Selfdetermination 6.5 Relationality and communion Bibliography Primary Literature Secondary Literature Academic Tools Other Internet Resources Related Entries 1. What is personalism? Personalism exists in many different versions, and this makes it somewhat difficult to define as a philosophical and theological movement. Many philosophical schools have at their core one particular thinker or even one central work which serves as a canonical touchstone. -
