Paul Fiebig

Paul Wilhelm Julius Fiebig (born February 3, 1876 in Halle , † November 11, 1949 in Kalbe (Milde) ) was a German Protestant theologian .

Life

Paul was born the son of the authorized signatory Paul Fiebig and his wife Else (née Hoene). He received his education at the Latin Secondary School of the Francke Foundations, which he left Michaelis in 1894 with the school leaving certificate. From the winter semester of 1894 to the winter semester of 1899, he studied Protestant theology at the University of Halle-Wittenberg and the University of Berlin , where he joined Martin Kähler and Emil Kautzsch . During his studies he was a member of the 1894 Schwarzenburg Bund - connection Tuiskonia hall. From Easter 1899 to Easter 1902 he was a member of the Protestant seminary in Wittenberg , received his doctorate on June 6, 1901 at the theological faculty of the University of Halle-Wittenberg as a licentiate in theology and completed his military service in Wittenberg from Easter 1901 to Easter 1902.

In 1902 he came to the " Institutum Judaicum Delitzschianum " in Leipzig as deputy director, and in October 1903 he became the study inspector at the seminary in Wittenberg. On January 20 and 21, 1904, he passed the senior teacher examination before the royal examination committee in Halle and was then employed as a senior teacher at the Ernestinum grammar school in Gotha in 1905 . During the First World War, he became head of the boys' education institution and garrison pastor in Annaburg in 1916 and pastor at St. Peter's Church in Leipzig in 1918 . In 1924 he completed his habilitation for the New Testament at the University of Leipzig and in 1930 became an extraordinary professor of theology. In 1926 he received an honorary doctorate from the theological faculty of the University of Wittenberg. Fiebig was a proponent of the National Socialist anti-Semitic race doctrine and published the book New Testament and National Socialism in 1935 . From 1939 Fiebig worked in the anti-Semitic institute to research and eliminate the Jewish influence on German church life .

Fiebig had married Else Bonness in 1905.

Research focus

He was particularly interested in the endeavor "to really understand the historical traditions of Jesus and to conveniently provide all means that can always be reached to promote this understanding." That is why he transferred the comparative working method developed by literary studies to the texts of the New Testament, Talmud and Midrash and thus examined the forms and genres of New Testament and rabbinical literature .

Possibility of confusion

At the same time as Paul Wilhelm Julius Fiebig, a second pastor named Paul Fiebig (1866–1951) was active at the Johanniskirche Leipzig. He was previously in Glauchau and as superintendent in Grossenhain. Since both theological writings published under the author's name "Paul Fiebig", care must be taken when assigning the works to the respective author.
