Heinrich Weinel
Heinrich Weinel (28 April 1874, Vonhausen – 29 September 1936, Jena) was a German Protestant theologian.
Biography
He studied at the universities of Berlin and Giessen, and in 1900 became an inspector of evangelical-theological seminaries in Bonn. From 1904 he was an associate professor at the University of Jena, where in 1907 he became a full professor of New Testament studies. Beginning in 1926 he taught classes in systematic theology at Jena. He was co-founder of the Freien Volkskirche, whose magazine he published from 1919.[1]
During his career, he labored for a popularization of liberal Protestant theology,[2] and in his numerous works, wrote on the history and theology of early Christianity from a "history of religions" perspective.[3]
