Erste kritische Edition der Werke Spinozas, herausgegeben von Theologen und Bibelexegeten Heinrich Eberhard Gottlob Paulus. Ziegenfuss II, 605
Heinrich Eberhard Gottlob Paulus (1 September 1761 - 10 August 1851) was a German theologian and critic of the Bible. He is known as a rationalist who offered natural explanations for the biblical miracles of Jesus.
Paulus was a professor of theology and oriental languages at the University of Jena (1789-1803?), then professor at the University of Würzburg (1803?-1807). He spent time in Bamberg, Nürnberg and Ansbach before becoming professor of exegesis and church history at the University of Heidelberg (1811?-44), where he was instrumental in hiring Hegel in 1816. His theological rationalism greatly influenced Hegel's own theology.
As a Lutheran in the Age of Enlightenment, he firmly believed in the autonomy of the individual and freedom of the individual (through reason) from the dogma of the church.
