Carl Peter Matthias Lüdemann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Peter Mat (t) hias Lüdemann (* July 6, 1805 in Kiel ; † February 17, 1889 ibid) was a professor of theology.

Life

Carl Peter Matthias Lüdemann was a son of Lorenz Lüdemann (* 1770) from Poppenbüll and his wife Catharina M., née Soll (* 1785) from Kiel. He attended the Kiel School of Academics and then studied theology at Kiel University . In 1828 he got a position as adjunct in Kiel . After graduating as Dr. phil 1834 he worked as a private lecturer from 1835. He also preached from 1834 to 1868 at the Heiligengeistkirche in Kiel and worked as a garrison preacher. In 1839 he was appointed director and associate professor at the homiletic seminary. In 1841 he was appointed full professor and doctor of theology.

Lüdemann was married to Elisabeth Ernestine Broekel (1809–1873) from Tondern . Her sister was the Kiel school principal and novelist Johanna Antonie Broekel . The couple had two sons and two daughters, including the Bern professor of theology Hermann Lüdemann (1842-1933) and Charlotte Sophia Bertha (1840-1914). As a poet, she wrote poems that appeared in three collections. These were titled Aus der Stille (1906), Haus und Heimat (1908) and Taking and Giving (1911). They were printed in the homeland and in other magazines.

Working as a theologian

As a preacher, Lüdemann dealt with homiletics and saw the connection between science and practice as a “most invigorating effect”. For this he wrote The Moral Motifs of Christianity (1841), The Essence of the Protestant Cult (1846) and The Sanctuaries of Humanity (1873). This shows that Lüdemann thought strictly closed and focused on the principle. He emphasized the ethical in Christianity very much. The last work from 1873 is a didactic poem in iambic verse in which he described all of his theology, dogmatics and ethics. Together with Carl Nicolaus Kähler , Lüdemann published the Kirchliche Vierteljahrs-Schrift in 1848 .

Lüdemann dealt with the question of where the real center of Christianity lies, whether in the mystical or, as Albrecht Ritschl described , in the practical-moral, ethical element. He went into both points of view equally and thus tried to prevent both quietism and sober moralism. Lüdemann advocated making the liturgical part of the service more extensive. He also wanted to involve parishioners more actively in the worship service so that they could express their joy in having salvation. In this he also saw the task of preaching.
