He trained for the priesthood but left the Catholic church in 1845, feeling that its teachings were incompatible with the findings of historical criticism, though he retained a quasi-Christian faith in God. His seven-volume History of the Origins of Christianity (1863-90) includes his Life of Jesus (1863); an attempt to reconstruct the mind of Jesus as a wholly human person. --- Volume 1 - The Life of Jesus --- Volume 2 - The Apostles --- Volume 3 - Saint Paul --- Volume 4 - The AntiChrist --- Volume 5 - The Gospels --- Volume 6 - Comprising the Reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius (A.D. 117-161) --- Volume 7 - Marcus-Aurelius4291 bytestext/htmlenReligionChristianityChurch HistoryEarly ChurchPrimitive Churchbook
