Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
AMMON, CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH VON (1766185o) , German theological writer and preacher, was born at Baireuth. He studied at Erlangen, held various professorships in the philosophical and theological faculties of Erlangen and Gottingen, succeeded Franz Reinhard (17531812) in 1813 as court preacher and member of the consistorial court at Dresden, retired from these offices in 1849, and died on the 21st of May 1850. Seeking to establish for himself a middle position between rationalism and supernaturalism, he declared for a "rational supernatural-ism," and contended that there must be a
gradual
  development of Christian
doctrine
  corresponding to the advance of knowledge and science. But at the same time he sought, like other representatives of this school of thought, such as K. G. Bretschneider and
Julius
  Wegscheider, to keep in close
touch
  with the historical theology of the
Protestant
  churches.. He was a man, p
great
  versatility and extensive learning, a philologist and philosopher as well as a theologian, and a very voluminous author. His principal theological
work
  was the Fortbildung des Christenthums zur Weltreligion, in 4 volumes (
Leipzig
 ,. 1833184o). Entwurf einer reinbiblischen Theologie appeared in 1792 (2nd ed., 18o1), Summa Thcologiae Christianae in 1803 (other editions, 1$08, 1816, 183o) ; Deis Leben Jesu in 1842, and Die wahre and falsche Orthodoxie in 1849. Von Ammon's style in preaching was terse and lively, and some of his discourses are regarded as models of pulpit treatment of political questions.
