Ferdinand Christian Baur was a German Protestant theologian and the founder and leader of the Tübingen School of theology. Following Hegel's theory of dialectic, Baur argued that second-century Christianity represented the synthesis of two opposing theses: Jewish Christianity (Petrine Christianity) and Gentile Christianity (Pauline Christianity). This and the rest of Baur's work had a profound impact upon the higher criticism of biblical and related texts.
