Books by August Friedrich Gfrorer

This two-volume work, published in 1831, is a critical study of early Christianity and the influence that Judaism had on the New Testament. Also offering a thorough exposition of the philosophy and theology of Philo of Alexandria, this remains a scholarly work of lasting value.

This three-volume work of more than 2,000 pages, published in 1838, may be regarded as marking the modern period in the Christian study of Judaism. Gfroerer (1803-61) was the first scholar who attempted to recount the history of Palestinian Judaism at the time of Jesus by using primary sources.
