Josef Dillersberger

Josef Dillersberger (March 30, 1897 – July 5, 1972) was an Austrian Roman Catholic priest and Bible scholar. He was born in Kufstein, attended school in Bozen and graduated from high school in 1915. After studying theology in Salzburg for four years, he was ordained a priest on August 1, 1919. He combined his graduate studies with work in parishes until 1927. He received the Doctorate in Salzburg in 1924, and the Habilitation from the same university in 1927. The following year was devoted to studies at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome. In 1931, complaints were filed against Dillersberger in the Vatican, although no disciplinary measures were taken. He was appointed Professor of New Testament at Salzburg University in 1933, but forced into retirement from 1941 to 1945 due to National Socialist measures against Catholic theologians. He resumed teaching after the Second World War and continued to do so until retiring in 1966; afterwards, he continued to lecture, drawing large audiences. He served as the dean of the theological faculty for a total of four periods. He was widely published in scholarly and popular journals. As the Innsbruck Bible scholar Paul Gächter remarked in an early review, "Dillersberger has understood very well that only exegesis together with dogmatics can provide the full harmony of an exhaustive explanation." Dillersberger was highly committed to pastoral work, which he saw as a necessary extension of his work as a Bible scholar. He was a member of the Neuland movement; he served as the spiritual director in the Salzburg Seminary from 1928 to 1933. He was made a member of the cathedral chapter in 1944, and made monsignor in 1964. Colleagues attested his generous and humble manner, noting his commitment to kindling enthusiasm for the New Testament among Catholics and his pronounced fidelity to the Holy See. His widely distributed translations of the Bible, breviaries, Marian devotions, and spiritual handbooks made Dillersberger known to Catholics in all of German-speaking Europe.
