- Abstract
An essay on the book "The Life of Jesus" by David Friedrich Strauss is presented. It explores the reactions the book received from the German religious community following its release and provides examples of similar works which questioned the historical legitimacy of Jesus Christ's life. It discusses Strauss' disclaimer to the book regarding the relationship between fact and Christian beliefs and provides a description of how academic theologians attempted to restrict the sale of the book.
