Bodenschatz, Johann Christoph Georg
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
or a Protestant theologian of Germany, was born March 25, 1717, at Hof. He studied at Jena, not only theology, but also Orientalia and natural sciences. In 1750 he received a call as professor of Oriental languages to the university at Erlangen, but declined it on account of the small income connected with the position. He died in 1797 as superintendent and court- preacher at Baiersdorf. Bodenschatz is the author of, Kirchliche Verfassung der heutigen, sonderlich der deutschen Juden (Erlangen, 1748), a very learned and still valuable work; Aufiichtiger teutschredender Hebrder, uiber den Ursprung, Schicksal, Kirchenwesen, etc., des jiidischen Volkes, besonders der heutigen deutschen Juden (Frankfort, 1756). See Fuirst, Bibl. Jud. i, 124; Doring, Die gelehrten Theologen- Deutschlands, i, 131 sq.; Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Gen., s.v. (B. P.)
