German theologian and patrologist (1851–1935) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bertram Otto Bardenhewer (Mönchengladbach, 16 March 1851 – Munich, 23 March 1935) was a German Catholic patrologist. His Geschichte der altkirchlichen Literatur is a standard work, re-issued in 2008.[1] For Bardenhewer, a patrologist was not a literary historian of the Church Fathers, but a historian of dogmatic definitions.[2]
He was educated at the University of Bonn (Ph.D., 1873) and University of Würzburg, and in 1879 became privat-docent of theology at the University of Munich. In 1884 he accepted a call to Münster as professor of Old Testament. Two years later he returned to Munich, as a professor for New Testament exegesis and Biblical hermeneutics, a position he held to 1924.
