1.2.2.1 Biographical Background
"Wilhelm Bousset (1865-1920). He taught at Göttingen from 1896 to 1916, and then in Giessen. He published a large number of works on Judaism and early Christianity, as well as on patristic studies of various kinds. His most important works were on the book of Revelation (1896), Judaism (1902), apocalyptic (1903) and Gnosticism (1907), and his famous Kyrios Christos appeared in 1913, though it was not translated into English until 1970. Bousset was one of the founding members of the 'history of religions' school at Göttingen, and most of his work reflects that orientation. He believed that the early church was a worshipping community held together by sacred rites, and that 'Kyrios' was a mystical power felt to be present during this worship." [Gerald Bray, "The German sphere: the 'history of religions' school and after," Biblical Interpretation: Past and Present (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 1996), 338]
