Ferdinand Christian Baur’s thought about religion focuses on the idea of Gnosis in close connection with the notion of history, but rather than favor a traditional approach, he prefers a different path: a “new” understanding of religion which draws quite heavily on Hegel’s philosophy, promoting the idea that history is the realm where God and man exist and work together.

The Bible is often used rhetorically as a polemical weapon to defend community consciousness and self-identity. Specialists from several different disciplines explore such rhetorical use of biblical narratives from the time of Second Temple Judaism through late antiquity, to sharpen or dull the crisis and conflict erupting between Christian and Jew, Greek, and other Christians.
