Educated for the Protestant ministry at Blaubeuren, Bebenhausen and Tbingen, he became repetent at Tbingen in 1774, preacher at Stuttgart in 1780, and professor of theology at Gttingen in 1784. At Tbingen he wrote Das Tagebuch eines neuen Ehemannes. In 1781 he published anonymously the first volume of his Geschichte des protestantischen Lehrbegriffs; the second, also anonymous, appearing in 1783, and it was completed in six volumes in 1800. It was followed by an extensive Geschichte der christlich-kirchlichen Gesellschaftsverfassung in five volumes (1803-1809). Both are works of considerable importance, and are characterized by abundant learning. He died on the 31st of August 1833.
