was his Religionsphilosophie auf geschichtlichen Grundlage (1878; 2nd ed., enlarged, 18831884; Eng. trans., from 2nd German ed., The Philosophy of Religion on the Basis of its History, 4 vols., 1886-1888).

GROSS

Lichterfelde, near Berlin. In New Testament criticism Pfleiderer belonged to the

critical

CRITICAL (in alphabetical order of authors)

school which grew out of the impulse given by F. C. Balir. But, like other modern German theologians, he showed a greater disposition to compromise. All his

work

WORK

shows a judicial tone of mind, and is remarkable for the charm of its style.
Pfleiderer's younger brother EDMUND (18421902) distinguished himself both in philosophy and theology. He too entered the ministry (1864) and during the Franco-German War served as army chaplain, an experience described in his Erlebnisse nines Feldgeistlichen (189o). He was afterwards appointed professor ordinarius of philosophy at
