The fact that, even in his own day, the exegetical work of the theologian Franz Delitzsch (Leipzig and Erlangen) was treated as outdated, stands in contrast to the reception and attention his writings received and in some cases still receive in both German and English speaking contexts. With an eye to this phenomenon, this dissertation investigates Delitzsch’s approach and its roots in the Lutheran Erlangen School, to which he clearly belonged, as its demonstrated. Present debates about the place of the Old Testament in Christian theology confirm the continued relevance of such studies, in particular when one considers Delitzsch’s remarkable relationship to Judaism.
