Bernhard Stade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernhard Stade (May 11, 1848 December 6, 1906) was a German Protestant theologian, born at Arnstadt, in Thuringia.

He studied at Leipzig and Berlin, and in course of time became (1875) professor ordinarius at Giessen. Once a member of Franz Delitzsch's class, he became a convinced adherent of the newest critical school.

In 1881 he founded the Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft, which he continued to edit; and his critical history of Israel (Geschichte des Volks Israel, 2 vols, 1887-1888; vol. ii. in conjunction with Oscar Holtzmann) has made him very widely known.

With C Siegfried he has revised and edited the Hebrew lexicon, Hebräisches Wörterbuch zum Allen Testament (1892-1893). Stade's other works include:

  • Über die alttestamentlichen Vorstellungen vom Zustand nach dem Tode (1877)
  • Lehrbuch der hebräischen Grammatik (vol. i., 1879)
  • Ausgewählte akademische Reden und Abhandlungen (1899)
  • Biblische Theologie des Alten Testaments (1905, etc.)
