" See also:AUGUST GOTTREU (1799-1877), See also:German See also:Protestant divine, was See also:born at See also:Breslau, on the 3oth of See also:March 1799
.
He received his See also:education at the gymnasium and university of his native See also:town, and See also:early distinguished himself by See also:great versatility of mind and See also:power of acquiring See also:languages
.
A love of See also:Oriental languages and literature led him to See also:exchange the university of Breslau for that of See also:Berlin, that he might study to greater See also:advantage, and there he was received into the See also:house of the Orientalist Heinrich See also:Friedrich von See also:Diez (1730-1817)
.
He was introduced to pietistic circles in Berlin, and came specially under the See also:influence of See also:Baron Hans See also:Ernst von Kottwitz (1757-1843), who became his " spiritual See also:father," and of the historian See also:Neander
.
Before deciding on the career of theological See also:professor, he had in view that of a missionary in the See also:East
.
Meanwhile he was feeling the influence to a certain degree of the romantic school, and of See also:Schleiermacher and See also:Hegel too, though he never sounded the depths of their systems
.
At length, in his twenty-first See also:year, he finally decided to adopt the academical calling
.
In 1821 he was Privatdozent and in 1823 became professor extraordinarius of See also:theology in Berlin, though he was at the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time active in the See also:work of See also:home and See also:foreign See also:missions
.
He lectured on the Old and New Testaments, theology, See also:apologetics and the See also:history of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church in the 18th See also:century
.
In 1821 appeared his first work, Sufismus, sive theosophia Persarum pantheistica; following the same See also:line of study he published Blutensammlung aus der morgenlandischen Mystik (1825) and Speculative Trinitatslehre See also:des spateren Orients (1826)
.
His well-known See also:essay on the nature and moral influence of heathenism (1822) was published by Neander, with high See also:commendation, in his Denkwurdigkeiten; and his Commentary on the See also:Epistle to the See also:Romans (1824) secured him a foremost See also:place amongst the most suggestive, if not the most accurate, Biblical interpreters of that time
.
Another work, which was soon translated into all the See also:principal See also:European languages, See also:Die wahre Weihe des Zweiflers (1823; 9th ed., with the See also:title Die Lehre von der Sande and dem Versohner, 1870), the out-come of his own religious history, procured for him the position which he ever after held of the See also:modern Pietistic apologist of Evangelical See also:Christianity
.
In 1825, with the aid of the Prussian See also:government, he visited the See also:libraries of See also:England and See also:- HOLLAND
- HOLLAND, CHARLES (1733–1769)
- HOLLAND, COUNTY AND PROVINCE OF
- HOLLAND, HENRY FOX, 1ST BARON (1705–1774)

Holland, and on his return was appointed (in 1826) professor ordinarius of theology at See also:Halle, the centre of German See also:rationalism, where he afterwards became preacher and member of the supreme consistorial See also:council
.
Here he made it his aim to combine in a higher unity the learning and to some extent the rationalism of J

S
.
See also:Semler with the devout and active See also:pietism of A
.
H
.
See also:Francke; and, in spite of the opposition of the theological See also:faculty of the university, he succeeded in changing the See also:character of its theology
.
This he effected partly by his lectures, particularly his exegetical courses, but, above all, by his See also:personal influence upon the students, and, after 1833, by his See also:preaching
.
His theologicalposition was that of a mild and large-hearted orthodoxy, which laid more stress upon See also:Christian experience than upon rigid dogmatic belief
.
On the two great questions of miracles and See also:inspiration he made great concessions to modern See also:criticism and See also:philosophy
.
The See also:battle of his See also:life was on behalf of personal religious experience, in opposition to the externality of rational-ism, orthodoxy or sacramentarianism
.
Karl See also:Schwarz happily remarks that, as the See also:English apologists of the 18th century were themselves infected with the See also:poison of the deists whom they endeavoured to refute, so See also:Tholuck absorbed some of the heresies of the rationalists whom he tried to overthrow
.
He was also one of the prominent members of the Evangelical See also:Alliance, and few men were more widely known or more beloved throughout the Protestant churches of See also:Europe and See also:America than he
.
He died at Halle on the loth of See also:June 1877
.
As a preacher, Tholuck ranked among the foremost of his time
.
As a teacher, he showed remarkable sympathy and won great success
.
As a thinker he
can hardly be said to have been endowed with great creative power
.
After his commentaries (on Romans, the See also:Gospel of See also:John, the See also:Sermon on the See also:Mount and the Epistle to the See also:Hebrews) and several volumes of sermons, his best-known books are Stunden christlicher Andacht (1839; 8th ed., 1870), intended to take the place of J

.
He published at various times valuable contributions towards a history of rationalism—Vorgeschichte des Rationalismus (1853-1862), Geschichte des Rationalismus (1865), i. and a number of essays connected with the history of theology and especially of apologetics
.
His views on inspiration were indicated in his work Die Propheten and ihre Weissagungen (1860), in his essay on the " Alte Inspirationslehre," in Deutsche Zeitschrift See also:fur christliche Wissenschaft (1850), and in his Gesprache caber die vornehmsten Glaubensfragen der Zeit (1846; 2nd ed., 1867)
.
He also contributed many articles to See also:Herzog's Realencyklopadie, and for several years edited a See also:journal (1830-1849), Literarischer Anzeiger
