As the son of an attorney general, Georgi first attended school in his hometown. After continuing his education in Zwickau in 1720 , he began studying at the University of Wittenberg on June 4, 1722 .

Georgi held the dean's office of the theological faculty several times and was rector of the Wittenberg Academy in the winter semesters of 1758, 1764 and 1770 . Above all, Georgi has rendered outstanding services to the criticism and exegesis of the New Testament. His approach to dealing with the topic stood in the opposite relationship to Johannes Vorst and Johannes Olearius .
