Philipp Kneib Explained

Philipp Kneib (19 February 1870 in Zornheim – 21 July 1915 in Würzburg) was a German Catholic theologist.

Life and career

Bishop Paul Leoplod Haffner ordained Kneib as a priest in 1895 in Mainz. After serving as a Chaplain in Gernsheim, St. Quintin (Mainz), St. Alban, and at the Cathedral in Mainz, he got a precarium in Seligenstadt. In 1899 he became a teacher at a local secondary school, the Progymnasium Seligenstadt. Kneib started to lecture at the seminar for priests in Mainz in 1900, first about the history of the church, and later about moral theology. He qualified as professor in 1903 and became the successor of his former teacher Herman Schell as professor of moral theology at the University of Würzburg in 1906.[1] [2]

The numerous books he published dealt with theological topics and were often combined with an ethical point of view. He made publications in relation to the afterlife ("Jenseits"), the defense of Jesus' mental health, free will, and the soul. His arguments supported the Catholic belief system. He had the explicit aim to convey his readers the belief in central concepts of Christianity.[3] [4] [5]
