DAUB, KARL German Protestant theologian, was born at Cassel on March 20, 1765. He studied at Marburg, and in 1795 became professor ordinaries of theology at Heidel berg, where he died on Nov. 22, 1836. Daub sought to bring about a speculative reconstruction of orthodox dogma, but he unfor tunately ignored historical criticism. His Lehrbuch der Katechetik (1801) was written under the spell of Kant, his Theologumena (1806), his Einleitung in das Studium der christl. Dogmatik (181o), and his Judas Ischarioth (2 vols., 1816), in the spirit of Schelling, while Die dogmatische Theologie jetziger Zeit and Vorlesungen fiber die Prolegomena zur Dogmatik (1839) are Hegelian in principle.
