Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PAULUS, HEINRICH EBERHARD" GOTTLOB (1761-1851), German rationalistic theologian, was born at Leonberg, near
Stuttgart
 , on the 1st of September 1761. His father, a Lutheran clergyman at Leonberg, dabbled in spiritualism, and was deprived of his living in r771. Paulus was educated in the seminary at Tubingen, was three years master in a German school, and then spent two years in travelling through England, Germany, Holland and France. In 1789 he was chosen professor ordinarius of Oriental languages at Jena. Here he lived in close intercourse with Schiller, Goethe, Herder and the most distinguished literary men of the time. In 1793 he succeeded Johann Christoph
Doderlein
  (17451792) as professor of exegetical theology. His
special
 
work
  was the exposition of the Old and New Testaments in the light of his
great
  Oriental learning
Ii
and according to his characteristic principle of " natural explanation." In his explanation of the Gospel narratives Paulus sought to remove what other interpreters regarded as miracles from the Bible by distinguishing between the fact related and the author's
opinion
  of it, by seeking a naturalistic exegesis of a narrative, e.g. that
Earl
  ri7s flaXavvrts (Matt. xiv. 25) means by the shore and not on the sea, by supplying circumstances omitted by the author, by remembering that the author produces as miracles occurrences which can now be explained otherwise, e.g. exorcisms. His Life of Jesus (1828) is a synoptical translation of the Gospels, prefaced by an account of the preparation for the Christ and a brief summary of His history, and accompanied by very short explanations interwoven in the translation. The form of the
work
  was fatal to its success, and the subsequent Exegetisches Handbuch rendered it quite superfluous. In this Handbuch Paulus really contributed much to a true interpretation of the Gospel narratives. In 1803 he became professor of theology and Consistorialrat at Wiirzburg. After this he filled various posts in south Germanyschool director at
Bamberg
  (1807), Nuremberg .(18o8), Ansbach (181o)until he became professor of exegesis and church history at Heidelberg (18111844). He died on the loth of August 1851.
His
chief
  exegetical works are his Philologisch-kritischer and historischer Kommentar fiber das Neue Testament (4 vols., i8001804); Philologischer Clavis caber die Psalmen (1791) ; and Philologischer Clavis fiber Jesaias (1793) ; and particularly his Exegetisches Handbuch fiber die drei ersten Evangelien (3 vols., 18301833 and ed., 18411842). He also edited a collected small edition of Baruch Spinoza's works (18021803), a collection of the most noted Eastern travels (17921803), F. W. J. Schelling's Vorlesungen fiber d'e Offenbarus;.g (1843), and published Skizzen aus meiner Bildungsund Lebensgeschichte (1839). See Karl Reichlin-Meldegg, H. E. G. Paulus and seine Zeit (1853), and article in
Herzog
 -Hauck, Realencyklopkdie; cf. F. Lichtenberger, History of German Theology in the Nineteenth Century, pp. 2124.
