OEHLER, GUSTAV See also:FRIEDRICH (1812-1872) , See also:German theologian, was See also:born on the loth of See also:June 1812 at See also:Ebingen, See also:Wurttemberg, and was educated privately and at See also:Tubingen where he was much influenced by J. C. F. Steudel, See also:professor of Old Testament See also:Theology. In 1837, after a See also:term of See also:Oriental study at See also:Berlin, he went to Tubingen as Repetent, becoming in • 1840 professor at the See also:seminary and pastor in Schonthal.
