“…While many of Baur's ideas can be traced to other sources, his terminology and presentation of these ideas is unique. 17 The new language of parties is of great importance to the political-theological struggle between Protestants and Catholics as it attacks the latter's claim that the church was one at the time of the apostles. 18 In addition, Baur's Hegelian inspired reduction of four conflicting parties to just two parties is significant as it is the source of his coinage of the term Judeo-Christianity as well as his claims about Paul's universalism and the need to supersede law and rituals.…”

In the conclusion to What Paul Meant, Gary Wills writes: The heart of the problem is this. Paul entered the bloodstream of Western civilization mainly through one artery, the vein carrying a consciousness of sin, of guilt, of the tortured conscience. This is the Paul we came to know through the brilliant selfexaminations of Augustine and Luther, of Calvin and Pascal and Kierkegaard. The profound writings of these men and their followers, with all their massive misreading of Paul, to a historic misleading of the minds of people down through the centuries. 1 While Wills' conclusion is firmly established, he does not investigate the consequences of the 'massive misreading of Paul' for our own century. While many contemporary theologians, outraged by Badiou and Žižek's political resurrection of Paul, have begun to consider this question, it is my contention that an important connection (hinted at by Wills') is being disregarded. There is a substantial link, of politicotheological importance, between these 'five men and their followers'-their protestant positioning. 2 All five of these thinkers played a fundamental role in providing the philosophical and theological justification for the critique of the Catholic Church. This critique took a particularly violent and political twist in German Protestant universities in the first quarter of the 19 th century, most overtly in the writings of the founder of the Tubingen School Ferdinand Christian Baur (1792-1860). While there is a clear connection between F. C. Baur and 'these men' (and a direct one to Kierkegaard 3), Baur's philosophical and political influence goes much further than the 19 th century, even when his theological influence wanes. It is my aim to demonstrate that Baur's influence remains tangible in both Badiou and Žižek's readings of Paul, and how this contributes to Islamophobia in Europe today.

“…10 Baur's major contributions to Protestant theology pertain to his work on early Christianity and New Testament scholarship, less so in relation to Gnosis. See (Hodgson 1966;Köpf 1988;Lincicum 2012;Rudolph 1983;Zachhuber 2017). 11 Part I of the book, "The Concept and Origin of Gnosis.…”

A Tale of Light and Darkness: Martin Buber’s Gnostic Canon and the Birth of Theopolitics

The current article revisits the tenuous relationship between Martin Buber’s conception of divine rule on earth (theopolitics) with Carl Schmitt’s famous notion of political theology, by underscoring their shared, though diametrically opposed interest in Gnostic ideas. Based on a reading of Buber’s heretofore unpublished lectures on Judaism and Christianity, the study outlines the nexus between the German tradition of scientific research, religious ideology and political visions, in order to show that Buber’s treatment of Gnosticism in the lectures is belied by an implicit critique of Schmitt’s dualistic distinction between friend and foe that legitimizes the subversion of liberal democracy. The Gnostic canon that Buber identifies in certain parts of the New Testament is shown to be based on the very same scientific research that fed Schmitt’s fascination with Gnostic teachings.

This article explores the origins of the conjectural emendation on 1 Cor 14.33b–35, first made in 1863 by Jan Willem Straatman. It shows that Straatman attributes the instruction on women's silence to Jewish influence and bases his view on a reconstruction of early Christianity in which Paul and his Gentile message were opposed by Jewish adversaries. This anti-Jewish tendency persisted in subsequent scholarship and has continued to characterise the understanding of this passage into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
