1648 1713 Churchman Lutheran Theologian
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the intellectual and spiritual depth of David Hollaz (or Hollatz, Hollazius), a prominent German Lutheran churchman, theologian, and dogmatist of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Born in 1648, Hollaz dedicated his life to the study and dissemination of Lutheran theology, earning a reputation as a leading scholar and authoritative interpreter of Lutheran doctrine. The image presents Hollaz in a solemn and contemplative pose, dressed in the formal attire of a learned scholar. His piercing gaze and serious expression convey a sense of deep introspection and intellectual rigor. The intricately patterned vestments and richly textured fabric of his robe underscore his status as a respected cleric and academic. Hollaz's contributions to Lutheran theology were significant, particularly in the areas of dogmatics and polemics. He authored numerous works, including "Doctrina Symbolicum," a comprehensive exposition of the Lutheran confessions, and "Apologia Confessionis Augustanae," a defense of the Augsburg Confession against its critics. His writings helped to solidify the Lutheran identity and strengthen the faith during a time of religious and political upheaval. Despite the challenges he faced, Hollaz remained steadfast in his commitment to the Lutheran faith and its teachings. His legacy as a theologian, churchman, and defender of Lutheran orthodoxy continues to be celebrated and studied by scholars and theologians today. This evocative portrait serves as a testament to Hollaz's enduring influence on the history of Lutheranism and the broader intellectual landscape of the late Baroque period.
