HARMS, CLAUS (1778-1855) ,
German
  divine, was born at Fahrstedt in Schleswig-Holstein on the 25th of May 1778, and in his youth worked in his father's mill. At the university of
Kiel
  he repudiated the prevailing rationalism and under the
influence
  of
Schleiermacher
  became a fervent Evangelical preacher, first at Lunden (18o6), and then at
Kiel
  (1816). His trenchant
style
  made him very popular, and he did
great
  service for his cause especially in 1817, when, on the 3ooth anniversary of the Reformation, he published side by side with Luther's theses, ninety-five of his own, attacking reason as " the
pope
  of our time " who " dismisses Christ from the altar and throws God's word from the pulpit." He also had some fame as a hymn-writer, and besides volumes of sermons published a good book on Pastoraltheologie (1830). He resigned his pastorate on account of blindness in 1849, and died on the 1st of
February
  1855
See Autobiography (2nd ed., Kiel, 1852); M. Baumgarten, Ein Denkmal fur C. Harms (
Brunswick
 , 1855).
