David Johannes Trobisch (born August 18, 1958 in Ebolowa , Cameroon ) is a German-American Evangelical Lutheran theologian . His specialty is New Testament research .

Life

David Trobisch was born in Cameroon, where his parents, the German theologian Walter Trobisch and the American theologian and author Ingrid Trobisch , geb. Hult, when missionaries served on behalf of the American Lutheran Church. He was the third of five children.

In 1964 the family moved to Austria . His father published a book about David's childhood in 1968 under the title Pimpelhuber's Adventures in Africa, America and Germany , which had eight editions by 2000. In 1976 he obtained his Matura at HEB Saalfelden , today's Bundesgymnasium and Sportrealgymnasium HIB Saalfelden . He studied Protestant theology at the Augustana University in Neuendettelsau and the Universities of Tübingen and Heidelberg . In 1982 he passed the 1st theological exam ( Magister ) in Heidelberg. In 1988 he received his doctorate in Heidelberg with a dissertation supervised by Gerd Theißen on the history of the origins of the Paulus letter collection as Doctor theologiae .

In his habilitation thesis, accepted in Heidelberg in 1995, The final editing of the New Testament: an investigation into the origin of the Christian Bible , contrary to the prevailing opinion today, he advocates the thesis of an early, uniform final editing of the New Testament canon in the 2nd century.

He taught as a university assistant in Heidelberg, 1995/96 at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield (Missouri) , 1996/97 as Visiting Associate Professor of New Testament at Yale University and from 1997 at Bangor Theological Seminary in Bangor (Maine) , initially until 2000 as Associate Professor of New Testament and from 2000 to 2009 as Throckmorton-Hayes Professor of New Testament Language and Literature .

From 2010 to 2013 he worked as a private scholar, reviewer and author.

2014 appointed him the entrepreneur Steven Green as curator of the Green Collection in Oklahoma City of being established and founding director of Collections Museum of the Bible ( Museum of the Bible ) in Washington, DC

In contrast to Green, Trobisch is considered a prominently liberal academic in the American spectrum . His calling was seen in academic papyrology circles as a dramatic step forward for the Green Collection .

Trobisch has residences in Germany, where his wife, son and two grandchildren live, and in Springfield . In the USA he is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America .

Act

In his paper published in 1995 on The Final Editing of the New Testament: an investigation into the origins of the Christian Bible , contrary to the prevailing opinion today, David Trobisch advocates the thesis of an early, uniform final editing of the New Testament canon in the 2nd century. According to this, the individual writings of the New Testament did not grow together into a literary unit in a lengthy, anonymous collection and elimination process; Rather, it is the product of a one-off edition that was already entitled “New Testament” (η Καινή Διαθήκη) and was conceived by the old church from the outset as the second part of a Christian Bible, i.e. with a view to the “Old Testament” .

Trobisch sees Marcion or his "Marcionite Gospel (Μαρκίωνα Ευαγγέλιο)" as an important theologian of the 2nd century. Like other New Testament scholars cited by him, such as John Knox (1901–1990) and Joseph B. Tyson , he takes the view that the Marcionite Gospel with an original version of Luke's Gospel is one of the first Gospels and the later Gospel according to Luke and The Acts of the Apostles, which is ascribed to the author, was only written as an answer to the Marcionite Gospel.
