Febdinaitd Christiak, one of the most celebrated theologians of modem Germany, founder of the 'New Tubingen School of Theology,' was bom at Blaubeuren, where his father was pastor, on the 21st of June, 1792. At the University of Tubingen, which he entered in 1809, he devoted five years to theological studies, and in 1817 he became profe or in the seminary at Blaubeuren. While holding this position he published his first work, Symbolik und My tho logie, oder die Naturreligion des Alterthums (Symbolism and Mythology, or the Natural Religion of Antiquity; Stuttg. 1824-25), by which his eminent theological abilities were so clearly manifested, that in 1826 he received a call to Tubingen as ordinary profe or in the evangelical faculty of that university. This position he continued to occupy till his death, on the 2d of December, 1860. His chief works belong to the two departments of the history of the Christian dogmas and New Testament criticism, in both of which his views have had the most powerful effect upon the theology of the present day. His most important works belonging to the first cla are: — Die christL Gnosis, oder die christL Iteligionsphilosophie (The Christian Gnosis, or the Christian Philosophy of Religion; Tub. 1835); Die christL Lehre von der Yersohnung (The Christian Doctrine of the Atonement; Tub. 1838); Die christl. Lehre von der Dreieinigkeit und Menschwerdung Gottes (The Christian Doctrine of the Trinity and the Incarnation; TUb. 1841-3); Lehrbuch der christl. Dogmongeschichte (Compendium of the History of Chnstian Dogmas; Stuttg. 1847). To the second cla belong Die sog. Pastoralbriefe dcs Apostels Paulus (The so-called Pastoral Epistles of the Apostle Paul; Stuttg. 1835); Paulus, der Apostel Jesu Christ i, Sein Leben und Wirken, seine Briefe imd seine Lehre (Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ, his Life and Labours, his Epistles and his Teaching; Stuttg. 1845); Ejritische Untersuchungen Uber die Kahonischen Evangelien, . (Critical Inquiries concerning the Canonic Gospels, their Relation to One Another, their Origin and Character; Tub. 1847). He has also written the History of Christian Doctrine from the Origin of Christianity down to the End of the Eighteenth Century, which was published in a series of volumes between 1853 and 1863, the last two posthumously. — ^This Baur is to be distinguished from Gustav A.
