Tübingen School
Tübingen School. A school of German NT theologians founded by F. C. Baur. It tried to apply G. W. F. Hegel's conception of development to primitive Christianity: the early Church was divided into ‘Petrinists’ (Jewish Christians) and ‘Paulinists’ (Gentile Christians), the cleavage between them being healed only in the later 2nd cent. (‘Catholicism’). Most NT Books were regarded as a product of the 2nd-cent. synthesis and therefore as of practically no historical value for the period to which they refer. The influence of the school was at its peak in the 1840s; its position has been generally abandoned. For the Catholic Tübingen School, see the previous entry.

Tübingen School
Tübingen School. A group of scholars of early Christianity who were influential in the mid-19th cent. They were led by F. C. Baur and included E. Zeller, A. Hilgenfeld, A. Schwegler, and (for a time) A. Ritschl. In their view, influenced by Hegel's conception of history, the early church was divided into a Jewish party led by Peter and a gentile party led by Paul. The opposition of the two parties was resolved only in the ‘catholic’ synthesis of the 2nd cent., at which time the bulk of the New Testament was written. Baur's influence declined after the 1840s, and the work of A. Harnack and J. B. Lightfoot is usually said to have led to the abandonment of its positions.
