FELTEN, JOSEPH. - Exegete and scholar of modern New Testament criticism, b. at Düren on 9 February 1851, d. at Bonn on 11 December 1929. Professor from 1877 of theology at St. Cuthbert's College at Ushaw, near Durham; from 1888 of exegesis at Bonn, and from 1921 in retirement.
His principal work is: Neotestamentliche Zeitgeschichte oder Judentum und Heidentum zur Zeit Christi und der Apostel (2 vols., Regensburg 1910; 2nd ed. ibid. 1925; Italian version, 4 vols., Turin 1913 and 1944). On its appearance it was received as a work destined to become a classic (cf. J. Lebreton, in Revue pratique d'apologétique, 10 [1910], pp. 379-80), but in the 2nd ed. it failed to bring itself up to date with new research (cf. J. Lebreton, in Recherches de science religieuse, 16 [1926], pp. 536-48). It nevertheless still retains its high value. Also worthy of mention are: Papst Gregor IX. (Regensburg 1886); Robert Grosseteste, Bischof von Lincoln (ibid. 1887); Die Apostelgeschichte (Freiburg im Breisgau 1892); Die zwei Briefen des hl. Petrus und der Judasbrief (Regensburg 1929).
