biography

St. Ansgarii Church (around 1839)

Paniel was the son of Carl Ludwig Julius Paniel (1755–1809) and his wife Benedikta Daniela Christina, geb. Herff. He studied theology in   Heidelberg and received his doctorate as Dr. theol. and phil. He was a pastor in the Baden church service. From 1839 to 1856 (†) he was pastor at the Ansgari Church in Bremen . He became a theologian with a theologically rationalistic orientation.

He became known through the Bremen church dispute of July 1840, when the Elberfeld reformed pietistic theologian and revival preacher Friedrich Wilhelm Krummacher gave two polemical guest sermons (including on Matth. 25, 31-46 Judgment Day on the heresies and Galatians 1, 8/9, cursed sermon ) the Ansgari Church in Bremen . Krummacher, as an opponent of rationalism, spoke out "against the wrong intentions of the modern biblical critic". He attacked the teachings of great philosophers and writers such as Socrates , Plato , Kant , Hegel , Fichte , Goethe and Schiller .
Paniel appeared as an opponent of this theological school of thought in three sermons. He spoke out for the Christian brotherly love and for reason and science as the highest human strength. He rejected the curse of people of different faiths ( anathema ). Most of Bremen's citizens were on Paniel's side.
Afterwards a flood of publications appeared in Bremen and Umzu, among others by Friedrich Engels .

22 pastors from Bremen, on the other hand, wrote a confession of pastors from Bremen in which they admitted to the pietistic-conservative line. Only three pastors from Bremen, including Paniel, represented the rationalist line. Bremen's Mayor Johann Smidt emphasized that the confession of the Orthodox is not an official document of the spiritual ministry Venerandum ( convention of the old Bremen pastors ) at the Senate of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen , but only represents the private opinion of the signatories.

Krummacher wrote his resumé of the Bremen church feud in 1841 with the title hypocritical rationalism before the judge's seat of the h. Scripture and the quote: You yourself do not go into the kingdom of heaven, and defend those who want to enter. (Luc. 11.52.) . He postulates in the script: "Based on the content of the" three Sunday sermons "I had to express the faith of Dr. Paniel in relation to the most essential basic truths of biblical Christianity partly in question, partly in resolute denial Srellen. ”In the closing words of his work (p. 306f) he writes that Paniel and his rationalism“ was nothing less than a decided anti-Christianity in the Glarus larva "The true theology" and the alleged "purity of the New Testament". "

He was also involved in the church dispute of the ecclesiastical liberal pastor Wilhelm Nagel von St. Remberti in Bremen in 1844/45 , in which the influence of the natural sciences on religion and popular education was disputed.

Cornelius August Wilkens dedicated his dissertation to him in 1855: Peter Abälard. A Study in Church History in the Middle Ages.

In 1855, shortly before his death (1856), Paniel met Catharina Amalie, b. Bonechecker, married.
