Excerpt from Handbook to the Controversy With Rome, Vol. 1 of 2 The reader will probably like to know the following facts relating to the writer whose work is here translated. Karl August von Hase was born at Steinbach, in Saxony, August 25, 1800. He was of great service by way of reconciling orthodox theology with modern thought. Expelled from Erlangen University for political reasons, his life work may be said to have been carried out at the University of Jena, where he was Professor of Theology from 1830 to 1883. He was a prolific writer, publishing among other works the following: System of Doctrine, 1825 (3rd ed. 1841), Compendium of Evangelical Dogmatics, 1826 (6th ed. 1870), The Life of Jesus, 1829, translated by J. F. Clarke, Boston, 1860 (5th ed. 1865), Church History, 1834 (11th ed. 1886), The New Prophets (The Maid of Orleans, Savonarola, and the Anabaptists), 1851, a Life of St. Francis, 1856, a Life of St. Catharine of Siena, 1864, The End of the 'Kulturkampf', 1879, and Lectures on Church History, 1880. He published an autobiography entitled Ideals and Errors, which, however, does not bring us further than 1830. Von Hase died January 3, 1890. He has been called the 'Nestor of modern scientific theology'. The centenary of his birth was celebrated at Jena in 1900.
