The Tübingen School (German: Tübinger Schule) is a scientific school of Protestant and Roman Catholic theologians who developed the foundations for the historical-critical method of biblical research at the University of Tübingen in the 19th century.
Baur and his students laid the foundations for the historical-critical method of biblical research in the 19th century.
[1] Beck, however, rejected Baur's speculative view and founded a more biblically based school, while Albert Schwegler switched from theology to philology in 1841 following conflicts with Württemberg church authorities.
Inspired by the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, it also dealt with the issue of divine revelation vs. human reason.
[4] Albrecht Ritschl, who strove to strike a balance between orthodox and liberal theology, ultimately parted ways with the Tübingen school.
