Among the allies and followers of Baur were Zeller. who edited the Theolog is che Jahrbücher ; Schweg- ler ( Post - Apostolic Age ), Ritschl ( Gospel of Mar- cion and Gospel of Luke ), Köstlin ( Doctrinal Sys- tem of John), Hilgenfeld, and Holsten. As Baur grew older he modified his views greatly, and his Christianity of the First Three Centuries (1853), is a more conservative work than his previous writings. He a erts the pure morality of Christianity, while he denies its miracles. Since the death of Baur some of the Tübingen school have admitted the po ibility of miracles as a nece ary deduction from Theism, and the judgment concerning the fourth gospel has been modified, and in some re- spect reversed. [PAUL IN ISM.] The Life of Jesus of Strau (1832), was the outcome of the teachings of the new Tübingen school. The object of the book is to show that the gospel narrative concern- ing Jesus is a philosophic myth-the expre ion of an idea in the form of an imaginary biography. But in the New Life of Jesus (auth. trans., 1865, p. 213) he says, "I have, mainly in consequence of Baur's hints, allowed more room than before to the hypothesis of conscious and intentional fiction." According to Prof. H. Schmidt, of Breslau, the his- torical and critical studies of Baur, though they led him to unsound conclusions, prepared the way for the brilliant achievements in the departments of Church history and doctrine of the present gen- eration, and must ever be a starting-point for the history of early Christianity.

In 1844, in the Theo- logische Jahrbilcher (the organ of the school), and in a book on the Gospels, in 1847, Baur attempted to show that the fourth gospel was not genuine.
