The world ultimately is what we say it is.
David Friedrich Strauss Quotes

About
David Friedrich Strauss was born in Ludwigsburg, Germany. He was a German theologian and writer, who scandalized Christian Europe with his portrayal of the "historical Jesus", whose divine nature he denied. In 1830 he became an assistant to a country clergyman, and nine months later accepted the post of professor in the Evangelical Seminaries of Maulbronn and Blaubeuren, where he would teach Latin, history and Hebrew. His The Christ of Belief and the Jesus of History is a severe criticism of Schleiermacher's lectures on the life of Jesus, which were then first published.
