BRUNO BAUER TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH

I have translated Kritik der evangelischen Geschichte der Synoptiker = Critique
of the Gospels (according to the Synoptics) -- volume 3 includes comparison of
the Passion Narrative with the Gospel of John. All three volumes are available
at BRUNO BAUER: Critique of the Gospel Narrative — English translation

Also now translated to English: BB's work of a decade later, Criticism of the
Gospels and History of their Origin = Kritik der Evangelien und Geschichte ihres
Ursprungs. Available at:

BRUNO BAUER: Criticism of the Gospels and History of their Origin — in English

I have also made a new translation of Christ and the Caesars -- now available
online at:

BRUNO BAUER: Christ and the Caesars — in English or as a pdf document here.

Another translation now available: Criticism of the Pauline Letters -- see:

BRUNO BAUER: Criticism of the Pauline Letters — in English. Also available in a
pdf file (though this may be revised as I discover a need for corrections).

In progress: BB's Critique of the Gospel of John is also gradually being made
available BRUNO BAUER: Critique of the Gospel of John — English translation.

and BB's work on Acts of the Apostles (Die Apostelgeschichte...) is being
uploaded step by step at BRUNO BAUER: Acts of the Apostles — in English.

OTHER NINETEENTH CENTURY PIONEERS

The Two Pioneers of the Markan Priority Hypothesis, Wilke and Weisse:

Christian Gottlob WILKE's "The First Evangelist" (Urevangelist) is now
translated into English. The details (including links to the German text) are
found on a Vridar blog page: WILKE -"Der Urevangelist" - Translated into English

The complete translation is here (PDF - 27 MB). --- Since a few quirks in the
translation still need to be ironed out and the Greek text also needs polishing
(perhaps even with added English translations) I have called the work a draft.

And Christian Hermann WEISSE's': "Gospel History" (Die evangelische geschichte,
kritisch und philosophisch bearbeitet) is also translated to English:

 * Gospel History Volume 1 (PDF - 7 MB)
 * Gospel History Volume 2 (PDF - 6 MB)
 * Gospel History Errata and CC Licence (PDF - 66 KB)

And an early exploration into the life of Paul being the inspiration for the
first written gospel, Volkmar:

Gustav VOLKMAR -- identifying the life of Paul as a source of the Gospel of
Mark. See the Volkmar page on Vridar for details.

 * Religion of Jesus (PDF - 4 MB)
 * Mark and the Synopsis of the Gospels (PDF - 15 MB) -- This file will be
   updated regularly as I steadily see more detail to correct and improve.
   Latest update 8th October 2023.
