Franz Rosenzweig and Karl Jaspers both made references to Schelling's Philosophie der Offenbarung. Despite his overall favorable reception, Jaspers disagreed with Schelling's ontological certainty of faith; in contrast, Rosenzweig develops in his Stern der Erlösung how Schelling succeeded with overcoming idealism in favor of a "new thinking." From these two contrasting interpretations it becomes clear that careful study of Schelling's philosophy allows for a contemporary perspective to the problem of philosophical faith—a position that was demonstrated by Leonard H. Ehrlich.
