	The opinions of the English rationalists were disseminated on the Continent by [[Voltaire]] and others. In Germany the ground was prepared by the philosophy of [[Christian Wolff (philosopher)#Philosophy\|Wolff]] and the writings of his disciple [[Johann Salomo Semler\|Semler]]. The posthumous writings of [[Hermann Samuel Reimarus\|Reimarus]] were published by [[Gotthold Ephraim Lessing\|Lessing]] between 1774-78 (''The Fragments of Wolfenbüttel''). Lessing pretended that the author was unknown. According to the "Fragments", Moses, Christ, and the Apostles were impostors. Lessing was vigorously attacked, especially by Goeze. [[Johann Gottfried Eichhorn\|Eichhorn]], in his "Introduction to the Old Testament" (Leipzig 1780-83, 3 vols.), maintained that the Scriptures were genuine productions, but that, as the Jews saw the intervention of God in the most ordinary natural occurrences, the miracles should be explained naturally.

	Holtzmann, while practically admitting the authenticity of the Gospels, especially of St. Mark, explains away the miracles. He believes that miracles do not happen, and that the scripture are merely echoes of Old Testament miracle stories. Holtzmann was severely taken to task by several writers in the "International Critical Commentary". The activity of so many acute minds has thrown great light on the language and literature of the Bible.
