Paul Billerbeck

Paul Billerbeck (4 April 1853 – 23 December 1932) was a Lutheran minister and scholar of Judaism, best known for his ''Commentary on the New Testament from the Talmud and Midrash'' (German, 1926) co-written with Hermann Strack.

Billerbeck was born in Bad Schönfließ, Neumark, Prussia and educated in Greifswald and Leipzig. Billerbeck's participation in Strack's ''Commentary on the New Testament from the Talmud and Midrash'' commenced in 1906 when Strack encouraged Billerbeck to compile and expand the material of John Lightfoot, Christian Schoettgen (1733) and Johann Jacob Wetstein for a new German commentary on the New Testament using rabbinical literature.
