Lichtenberger). As a dogmatic writer he belonged to the school of Schleiermacher. His ''Christliche Dogmatik'' (5 vols, 1849–1852; new edition, 1870) “contains many fruitful and suggestive thoug ...

Karl Rudolf Hagenbach
Karl Rudolf Hagenbach (March 4, 1801 – June 7, 1874) was a Swiss church theologian and historian. He was particularly interested in the Protestant Reformation and its figures. Life Hagenbach was born at Basel, where his father was a practising physician, and a professor of anatomy and botany in the university.

The years 1820–1823 were spent first at Bonn, where G. C. F. Lucke (1791–1855) exerted a powerful influence on his thought, and afterwards at Berlin, where Schleiermacher and Neander became his masters. Returning in 1823 to Basel, where W. M. ...
