Adolf Hausrath (13 January 1837 – 2 August 1909), a German theologian, was born at Karlsruhe.
Biography[edit]
He was educated at Jena, Göttingen, Berlin and Heidelberg, where he became Privatdozent in 1861, professor extraordinary in 1867 and ordinary professor in 1872. He was a disciple of the Tübingen school and a strong Protestant. His scholarship was sound and his style vigorous.[1]
Hausrath died on 3 August 1909[1] in Heidelberg.[2]
Works[edit]
Among other works he wrote Der Apostel Paulus (1865), Neutestamentliche Zeitgeschichte (1868–1873, 4 vols; Eng. trans.), D. F. Strauss und die Theologie seiner Zeit (1876-1878, 2 vols), and lives of Richard Rothe (2 vols, 1902), and Luther (1904).[1]
Under the pseudonym George Taylor he wrote several historical romances, especially Antinous (1880), which quickly ran through five editions, and is the story of a soul "which courted death because the objective restraints of faith had been lost." Klytia (1883) was a 16th-century story, Samen (1884) a fictional work of 19th century Germany, Jetta (1885) a tale of the great immigrations, and Elfriede "a romance of the Rhine".[1]
