Strauss vs. Harmonization: Is Harmonization outdated?

from The Lydia McGrew Podcast Hosted by The Lydia McGrew Podcast

Here I continue on the theme that Tim McGrew addressed: Did D. F. Strauss put an end forever to the reasonableness of harmonization? I will be reading a quotation from Dale Allison accusing harmonizers of "trying to erase knowledge" and being motivated only by an outworn theory of inspiration that was "pulverized by the deists." On the contrary, the satire by Johannes Ebrard, written within ten years of Strauss's Life of Jesus, "pulverized" Strauss by pointing out how faulty Strauss's methodology really was. In this "war of the quotations," I will be reading and commenting on Allison, Strauss, and Ebrard. Be sure to like and subscribe! Find the text of Ebrard's satire embedded in this article, here, beginning with the title "Receipt for Writing..." https://www.tertullian.org/rpearse/scanned/strauss.htm
