a Lutheran theologian of Germany, was born at Osterweddingen, near Magdeburg, November 25, 1730. He studied at Halle, and in 1754 was appointed teacher at a high-school in Berlin. In 1759 he was also appointed preacher at Trinity Church there, and in 1768 accepted a call to the pastorate at Genthin. He died October 24, 1810, leaving, De Pelagianismo ceque ac Fanaticismo ab Ecclesia Jesu Christi Arcendo (Halle, 1762): Praktische Lebensbeschreibungen verstorbener und nachlebender Geistlichen (Stendal, 1787). His best work, however, is his continuation of Mosheim's Church history. See Doring, Die gelehrten Theologen Deutschlands, s.v.; Winer, Handbuch der theol. Lit. 1:535; 2:52. (B.P.)
