biblical scholar

Life

Grave at the cemetery Hörnli, Riehen, Basel

Streeter was born in

Nuremberg Rally with Frank Buchman.[6] He wrote a dozen volumes in the fields of philosophy of religion, comparative religion, and New Testament
textual studies.

He was Dean Ireland's Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture at the University of Oxford from 1932 to 1933, when he became Provost of Queen's College.

The most important work of Streeter was The Four Gospels: A Study of Origins (1924), in which he proposed a "

synoptic problem.[7][verification needed] In this work, he also developed the theory of "local texts" in the manuscript transmission of the New Testament (pp. 27–50). Johann Leonhard Hug was his forerunner.[8]

Streeter found a new textual family: Caesarean text-type. He remarked a close textual relationship between Codex Sinaiticus and Vulgate of Jerome.

Streeter and his wife, Irene, were the only passengers on a

Koolhoven FK.50, HB-AMO which crashed into Mount Kelleköpfli on a flight from Bern to Basel on 10 September 1937. The crew started the descent to Basel in low visibility due to foggy conditions. The plane hit Mount Kelleköpfli located near Waldenburg
, 25 kilometres southeast of Basel airport. The pilot Walter Eberschweiler and the Streeters were killed immediately, while the radio operator/navigator Hans Huggler survived the accident, but was severely injured.
