, 1825

Overview

One of the first works of synoptic textual criticism, A Critical Essay on the Gospel of St. Luke explores the textual origins of Luke as it relates to the other synoptic Gospels. Schleiermacher, drawing somewhat on previous work, espouses the theory that the Gospel writers were not using each other as sources; rather, that there were independent sources, some of which they shared, some of which they didn’t.

About Friedrich Schleiermacher

Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768–1834), often called the father of modern theology, was a German philosopher and one of the greatest Protestant theologians of the 19th century. He is often regarded as the father of modern hermeneutics, i.e. the science of interpreting the Bible, and known for his many other works in the area of systematic theology. Otto Weber states that, “Retrospectively, the dogmatics of the 19th century can be understood essentially as the direct, indirect, or negatively received influence of the theology of Friedrich Daniel Schleiermacher, one of the most powerful personalities in all of church history, in some ways comparable with Augustine.”
