Ian A. Cooper,

While Nietzsche's relationship to D. F. Strauss has generally been approached in terms of Nietzsche's attack on Strauss, this article presents a wider intellectual-historical perspective to show that both are part of the philosophical and theological crisis of post-Hegelianism. A study of their major works "Das Leben Jesu" and "Also sprach Zarathustra" reveals striking similarities in the problems of language and representation faced by both thinkers.
