Boschwitz on Wellhausen

Más información sobre el libro

Friedemann Philipp Boschwitz's dissertation critically examines Julius Wellhausen's scholarship on ancient Judaism, early Christianity, and formative Islam, situating it within comparative religion and German intellectual history. The work explores Wellhausen's influences, particularly from Johann Gottfried Herder, and his impact on Friedrich Nietzsche. Paul Michael Kurtz enhances the narrative with commentary and archival materials that reveal Boschwitz's struggles as a Jewish scholar during the Nazi regime, alongside insights into his social connections with prominent émigré thinkers. This book offers a significant contribution to the study of biblical scholarship and Jewish intellectual history.
