ABSTRACT

In the course of the 1830s there arose at the University of Erlangen a theological school called “the Erlangen School” or what we refer to today as Erlangen theology. A number of young professors who all had a positive relation to the revivalist movement were appointed in a short period of time to the Theological Faculty at the University of Erlangen, and although they did not work together directly, their theology bore such a unique stamp that we can with justice refer to it as a school.
