return that in the next edition he would explain what had been
misunderstood and withdraw what was objected to. The question
now rises, whether the more recent work of =Xav. Funk= can
escape a similar censure.
Among Catholic writers on canon lay the most notable are
=Walters= of Bonn, =Phillips= of Vienna, =Von Schulte= of Prague
and Bonn, who till the Vatican Council was one of the most zealous
advocates of the strict Catholic tendency, since then openly on
the side of the opposition, a keen supporter, and by word and pen
a vigorous promoter, of the Old Catholic movement, and =Vering=
of Prague, who occupies the ultramontane Vatican standpoint.
§ 191.8. =The Chief Representatives of Exegetical
Theology.=--=Hug= of Freiburg, in his “Introduction,” occupies
the biblical but ecclesiastically latitudinarian attitude of
Jahn. Leaving dogma unattacked and so himself unattacked, =Mövers=
of Breslau, best known by his work on the Phœnicians, a Richard
Simon of his age, developed a subtlety of destructive criticism
of the canon and history of the Old Testament which astonished
even the father of Protestant criticism, De Wette. =Kaulen= of
Bonn wrote an “Introduction to the Old and New Testament,” in
a fairly scientific spirit from the Vatican standpoint; while
=Maier= of Freiburg, wrote an introduction to the New Testament
and commentaries on some New Testament books.--The Old Catholic
=Reusch= of Bonn wrote “Introduction to the Old Testament,” and
“Nature and the Bible” (2 vols., Edin., 1886). =Sepp= of Munich,
silent since 1867, began his literary career with a “Life of
Christ,” a “History of the Apostles,” etc., in the spirit of
the romantic mystical school of Görres. His “Sketch of Church
Reform, beginning with a Revision of the Bible Canon,” caused
considerable excitement. With humble submission to the judgment
of his church, he demanded a correction of the Tridentine decrees
on Scripture in accordance with the results of modern science,
but the only response was the inclusion of his book in the Index.
