 | | In 1825, with the aid of the Prussian government, he visited the libraries of England and Holland, and on his return was appointed (in 1826) professor ordinarius of theology at the University of Halle, the centre of German rationalism, where he afterwards became preacher and member of the supreme consistorial council. |
 | | Here he made it his aim to combine in a higher unity the learning and to some extent the rationalism of Johann Salomo Semler with the devout and active pietism of AH Francke; and, in spite of the opposition of the theological faculty of the university, he succeeded in changing the character of its theology. |
 | | This he achieved partly by his lectures, but above all by his personal influence on the students, and, after 1833, by his preaching. |
