 Shortly after the death of Hegel, another writer, David Strauss, who had been a reader of Hegel's writings, arrived in Berlin (1831).As a student of Friedrich Schleiermacher he wrote a controversial book which is now famous, entitled, "The Life of Jesus Critically Examined", usually referred to as "The Life of Jesus" (1835).In this book David Strauss announced his own landmark theory of 'demythologization' as an approach to the Gospels, but he also attempted to use Hegel's name and fame in his book as a marketing ploy.
