Adolf Harnack |
 | | Adolf Harnack (May 7, 1851 - June 10, 1930), German theologian, was born at Dorpat, in Russia, where his father, Theodosius Harnack (1817?1889), held a professorship of pastoral theology. |
 | | In 1886 Harnack was called to Marburg[?]; and in 1888, in spite of violent opposition from the conservative section of the church authorities, to Berlin. |
 | | Harnack, both as lecturer and writer, was one of the most prolific and most stimulating of modern critical scholars, and' trained up in his "Seminar" a whole generation of teachers, who carried his ideas and methods throughout the whole of Germany and even beyond its borders. |
