ULLMANN, KARL (1796-1865) , See also:German See also:Protestant theologian, was See also:born at Epfenbach, near See also:Heidelberg, on the 15th of See also:March 1796. He studied at Heidelberg and See also:Tubingen, and in 182o delivered exegetical and See also:historical lectures at Heidelberg. In 1829 he went to See also:Halle as See also:professor to See also:teach See also:church See also:history, dogmatics and symbolics, but in 1836 he accepted a See also:chair at Heidelberg. A lifelong exponent of the mediating See also:theology (Vermittelungs-Theologie), in 1828, with the help of Umbreit (1795–186o), he founded and edited the Theologische Studien and Kriliken in its interests. When See also:Wegscheider and Gesenius were denounced by See also:Hengstenberg as rationalists, he pleaded for freedom in theological teaching (cf. his Theol. Bedenken, 1830). On the other See also:hand, he vigorously attacked See also:David See also:Strauss. His Historisch See also:oder mythisch (1838; 2nd ed. 1866) was a reply to Strauss's See also:Life of Jesus, and his See also:criticism resulted in Strauss making numerous concessions in later See also:works. Ullmann died on the 12th of See also:January 1865. In Das Wesen See also:des Christenthums (1845; 5th ed., 1865; Eng. trans., 186o) Ullmann explains that See also:Christianity is See also:independent of the orthodox formulas, and contends that a distinction should be made between faith and dogmatics. His See also:principal historical works are Gregor von Nazianz (1825; tad ed., 1867) and See also:Die Reformatoren vor der See also:Reformation (2 vols., 1841; 2nd ed., 1866; Eng. trans., 1854).

Another well-known See also:

work is Die Sundlosigkeit Jesu (1854; Eng. trans., 1858 and 1870). See O. See also:Pfleiderer, Development of Theology (189o) ; and cf. W. See also:Beyschlag, Karl Ullmann (1867), and Adolf See also:Hausrath in Kleine Schriften religionsgeschichtlichen Inhalts (1883).
