, 1750 and 1763). The work is the last of the strict Lutheran systems of dogmatics in the era of Lutheran orthodoxy. Hollatz knows Pietism, but does not mention it, although he refutes mysticism. The system is divided into ''quaestiones'', which are explained by ''probationes''; these are followed by '' antitheses'', against which the different ''instantia'' are brought forward. Hollatz also published ''Scrutinium veritatis in mysticorum dogmata'' (Wittenberg, 1711); ''Ein gottgeheiligt dreifaches Kleeblatt (Leidender Jesus)'' (1713); a collection of sermons; and other works.
