Neander

Neander, John (1789-1850), a German theologian, was born of Jewish parents at Gottingen, where, after becoming a Christian, he studied. In 1812 he was appointed professor of theology at Heidelberg, and the same year to a similar post at the Berlin University. He was a great authority upon historical theology, and was much loved by his pupils. His many works, several of which have been translated into English, were collected in one edition in 1862.
