13 Friedrich Ernst David Schleiermacher, _Über den sogenannten ersten
Brief des Paulus an den Timotheus. Ein kritisches Sendschreiben an
Joachim Christian Gass,_ 1807. In his complete works this is to be
found in the second volume of the first division, 1836, pp. 223-320.
14 Johann Gottfried Eichhorn, _Historisch-kritische Einleitung in das
Neue Testament,_ 1st ed., vol. iii., second half (1814), pp. 315-410.
Eichhorn points out that he had recognised the spuriousness of the
three Pastoral Epistles, and had expressed his conviction in his
University lectures before Schleiermacher published his criticisms of
the First Epistle of Timothy.
15 Leonhard Usteri, _Die Entwicklung des paulinischen Lehrbegriffs,_
1824, 191 pp. The editions of 1829, 1830, and 1832 were revised by the
author, who died in 1833. After his death two more appeared (1834,
1851). Reference may be made also to Usteri’s “Commentary on the
Epistle to the Galatians,” 1833, 252 pp.
16 The first work which undertook to give an account of the Apostle’s
system of thought as such is Gottlob Wilhelm Meyer’s _Entwicklung des
paulinischen Lehrbegriffs,_ 1801, 380 pp. The author has collected the
material well, but does not know in what direction Paul’s peculiarity
lies.
17 Of the works which criticise Usteri and mark an advance in Pauline
study the following may be named:—
Karl Schrader, _Der Apostel Paulus;_ vols. i., 1830 (264 pp.), and
ii., 1832 (373 pp.), deal with the life of the Apostle Paul; vol.
iii., 1833 (331 pp.), with the doctrine; vols. iv., 1835 (490 pp.),
and v., 1836 (574 pp.), contain the exposition of the Epistles.
August Ferdinand Dähne, _Entwicklung des paulinischen Lehrbegriffs,_
1835, 211 pp.
Mention may also be made of the chapter on Paulinism in J. A. W.
Neander’s _Geschichte der Pflanzung und Leitung der christlichen
Kirche durch die Apostel,_ 1st ed., 1832; 2nd ed., 1st vol., 1838 (433
pp.). Paul is treated in pp. 102-433; 4th ed., 1847; 5th, 1862. As
typical of the exegesis of the period prior to Baur may be mentioned
the Commentaries of W. M. L. de Wette on Romans (2nd ed.), 1838; 1 and
2 Corinthians, 1841; Galatians and Thessalonians, 1841.
18 H. E. G. Paulus, _Des Apostels Paulus Lehrbriefe an die Galater-
und Römer-Christen,_ 1831, 368 pp.
NOTES FOR CHAPTER II BAUR AND HIS CRITICS
19 Albert Schwegler, _Das nachapostolische Zeitalter in den
Hauptmomenten seiner Entwicklung_ (“The Post-Apostolic Age in the main
Features of its Development”), 1846, vol. i. 522 pp., vol. ii. 392 pp.
In the writings which mark the course of the development of Paulinism
three groups are distinguished. To the first, the apologetic group,
belongs the First Epistle of Peter; to the second, the conciliatory
writings, are to be reckoned the Gospel of Luke, the Acts of the
Apostles, the First Epistle of Clement, and the Epistle to the
Philippians; the third is represented by the catholicising writings,
the Pastorals, the Letter of Polycarp, and the Ignatian Letters.
