Biography
Weber was born in Mülheim, and studied at Bonn and Tübingen. In 1933, he joined the Nazi Party[1] and was for a short time a member of the German Christians group. In 1934, Weber became professor at the University of Göttingen.
He opposed the witness of the Confessing Church, and after the war felt a strong sense of guilt for his involvement with Nazi Germany.[2] His 1955 work, The Foundations of Dogmatics is one of the most influential Reformed theological works of the twentieth century.[3] Jürgen Moltmann describes him as an "expert teacher" and a "compelling preacher".[2]
Weber died in St. Moritz.
