Philippi was the son of the wealthy Jewish banker Elias Philipp (born March 19, 1781 in Potsdam † 1846 in Berlin). From 1812 this is called Eduard Philippi.

Philippi was a friend of the Mendelssohn family . He received his education from 1822 at the Joachimsthal School in Berlin and studied philology in Berlin and Leipzig from 1827 . In 1829 he was baptized ( conversion ) in Leipzig . After receiving his doctorate in 1830 as Dr. phil. he became a teacher at a private school in Dresden and in 1833 at the Joachimsthalschen Gymnasium in Berlin. There he devoted himself to the study of theology under the influence of Ernst Wilhelm Hengstenberg .

In 1836 Philippi passed the theological exams and became a candidate for the ministry (cand. Rev. Min.). In 1837 he completed his habilitation as a private lecturer at the theological faculty of the University of Berlin . He read about the New Testament.
