Bernhard Stade

Who was Bernhard Stade?

Bernhard Stade was a German Protestant theologian and histortian.

He studied at Leipzig and Berlin, and in course of time became 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 made him very widely known.

With Carl Siegfried he revised and edited the Hebrew lexicon, Hebräisches Wörterbuch zum Alten Testament. Stade's other works included:

Über die alttestamentlichen Vorstellungen vom Zustand nach dem Tode

Lehrbuch der hebräischen Grammatik

Ausgewählte akademische Reden und Abhandlungen

Biblische Theologie des Alten Testaments
