August Tholuck

1799 - 1877 Hymnal Number: ad440 Author of "O Sabbath, den der Herr gemacht, Damit Er gn'dig" in Das neue Gemeinschaftliche Gesangbuch, zum ... der Lutherischen und Reformirten Gemeinden in Nord-Amerika ... neuen Anhg. Tholuck, Friedrich August Grottreu, D.D., was born at Breslau, March 30, 1799. He studied at the Universities of Breslau and Berlin. He became a University lecturer (Privatdocent) at Berlin, in Dec. 1820, and extraordinary professor of Theology there in April, 1823 (D.D. from Berlin in 1826). In Nov., 1825, he was appointed ordinary professor of Theology at Halle, and entered on hiss duties at Easter, 1826. He was also appointed as University preacher, in 1839, and a member of the Magdeburg consistory in 1829. From Michaelmas, 1828, to Easter, 1829, he officiated as chaplain to the German Embassy at Rome, having gone there on sick leave. Otherwise, after 1826, his life was spent almost entirely at Halle. He died at Halle, June 10, 1877 (Koch, ,vii. 26; Herzog's Real-Encyklopädie, xv., 560, &c). Tholuck was a celebrated preacher, and a great linguist. He is perhaps best known to English readers by his Commentaries, as e.g. on Romans, 1824 (5th ed., 1856; Eng. translation 1833 and 1836); on St. John's Gospel, 1827 (7th ed., 1857; Eng. tr. 1859); on the Sermon on the Mount, 1833 (5th ed., 1872; Eng. tr. 1834 and 1837, improved in 1859); on Hebrews, 1836 (3rd ed., 1850; Eng. tr. 1842); on the Psalms, 1843 (2nd ed., 1873; Eng. tr. 1856), &c.; and by hisDie Lehre von der Sünde und dem Versohner, oder die wahre Weihe des Zweiflers, 1823 (enlarged ed., 1825; 9th ed., 1871), a sort of religious novel which has powerfully influenced many, e.g. C. J. P. Spitta and has been translated into English, French, Danish and Swedish. He was a many sided man, who exercised a great and far-reaching influence over his contemporaries, and who, by the charm of his personal character as well as by his learning, drew crowds of students to Halle, not only from all parts of Germany, but also from Great Britain and America. His hymns appeared in his Stunden christlicher Andacht, Hamburg, 1839-40. This is a volume of Meditations which has passed through many eds. in German (8th ed., 1870), and of which at least two versions have appeared in English (as Hours of Christian Devotion. In the preface to the Stunden, Tholuck mentions that he had intended to introduce many quotations from German hymns and sacred poems, but could find few that suited his purpose. So he adds "I therefore myself spoke in the language of poetry; only a very few of the verses here interspersed are by other authors." He does not however indicate in any more definite way which are his own compositions. A few pieces from this work have passed into American-German hymn-books, and they have all been translated by Dr. Menzies. Two of which are probably original, are here noted, viz.:— i. Einst wird's geschehn, dass auf der Erde. Second Advent. In his Stunden, 1840, p. 470, as the conclusion of Med. lxvii., in 2 st. of 8 1., and founded on Rom. viii. 21-23. Translated as:— A day will dawn when from on high. In full by Dr. R. Menzies, 1870, as above, p. 551. Included by H. L. Hastings in his Songs of Pilgrimage, Boston, U. S., 1880, No. 193. ii. O süsser Hirte, unter deinem Stabe. The Good Shepherd. In his Stunden, 1840, p. 151, in 7 stanzas of 4 lines as the conclusion of Med. xxvi., and founded on Ps. xxiii. The trs. are (1) "O gentle Shepherd, guided by Thy hand, My soul hath found her everlasting rest." By Miss Dunn, 1853, as above, p. 110. (2) “O gentle Shepherd by Thy staff directed.” By Miss Burlingham in the Bristol Herald, Sept., 1865, p. 143, repeated in Reid's Praise Book, 1872. (3) "Beneath Thy gentle care, O Shepherd dear." By Dr. R. Menzies, 1870. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] -- Excerpts from John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
