Présentation de l'éditeur
Evangelical Church in Germany. He was born July 4, 1793, at A hrensbok, in Holstein. His father, who on the ground of health had exchanged the profession of notary for a business life, soon discovered the extraordinary gifts of his son, and, designing for him the career of a scholar, sent him for three years to the Gymnasium at Liibeck. There he pursued the study of the Greek and Latin classics, and began that of Hebrew; and, under the guidance of the learned and pious Director Mosche, evinced so strong a taste for ancient languages and history, that he gave up the idea of the law, and became in 1812 a student of philology and theology in the University of Kiel. Here his chief attention was directed to the philological departments of theological study. He afterwards spent three years, from 1814-1817, in the University of Berlin, where he imbibed a true love for theology under the influence of De Wette and Neander, and chiefly of Schleiermacher, who, with keen discernment and prognostication of his future career, was wont to say that he thought his friend was specially gifted with a charisma for Introduction to Holy Scripture. This was emphatically his forte, his calling; and to this, in the providence of God, he devoted his entii elife.
