The following is a list of his principal works: _Christologie des Alten Testaments_ (1829-1835; 2nd ed., 1854-1857; Eng. trans. by R. Keith, 1835-1839, also in Clark's "Foreign Theological Library," by T. Meyer and J. Martin, 1854-1858), a work of much learning, the estimate of which varies according to the hermeneutical principles of the individual critic; _Beiträge zur Einleitung in das Alte Testament_ (1831-1839); Eng. trans., _Dissertations on the Genuineness of Daniel and the Integrity of Zechariah_ (Edin., 1848), and _Dissertations on the Genuineness of the Pentateuch_ (Edin., 1847), in which the traditional view on each question is strongly upheld, and much capital is made of the absence of harmony among the negative critics; _Die Bücher Moses und Ägypten_ (1841); _Die Geschichte Bileams u. seiner Weissagungen_ (1842; translated along with the Dissertations on Daniel and Zechariah); _Commentar über die Psalmen_ (1842-1847; 2nd ed., 1849-1852; Eng. trans. by P. Fairbairn and J. Thomson, Edin., 1844-1848), which shares the merits and defects of the _Christologie; Die Offenbarung Johannis erläutert_ (1849-1851; 2nd ed., 1861-1862; Eng. trans. by P. Fairbairn, also in Clark's "Foreign Theological Library," 1851-1852); _Das Hohe Lied ausgelegt_ (1853); _Der Prediger Salomo ausgelegt_ (1859); _Das Evangelium Johannis erläutert_ (1861-1863; 2nd ed., 1867-1871; Eng. trans., 1865) and _Die Weissagungen des Propheten Ezechiel erläutert_ (1867-1868). Of minor importance are _De rebus Tyriorum commentatio academica_ (1832); _Über den Tag des Herrn_ (1852); _Das Passa, ein Vortrag_ (1853); and _Die Opfer der heiligen Schrift_ (1859). Several series of papers also, as, for example, on "The Retention of the Apocrypha," "Freemasonry" (1854), "Duelling" (1856) and "The Relation between the Jews and the Christian Church" (1857; 2nd ed., 1859), which originally appeared in the _Kirchenzeitung_, were afterwards printed in a separate form. _Geschichte des Reiches Gottes unter dem Alten Bunde_ (1869-1871), _Das Buch Hiob erläutert_ (1870-1875) and _Vorlesungen über die Leidensgeschichte_ (1875) were published posthumously.
