Christoph Ludwig Stieglitz (born October 20, 1687 in Leipzig , † 1768 in Naumburg (Saale) ) was a German Lutheran theologian.

Life

Christoph Ludwig Stieglitz, the son of the High Court Procurator and lawyer Conrad Stieglitz and his wife Dorothea, daughter of the Leipzig businessman Lorentz Taubert, had received their first education from private teachers. From the age of twelve he attended the Nikolaischule and in 1704 began studying philosophical and theological sciences at the University of Leipzig . In philosophy he attended the lectures of Johann Gottlieb Hardt and Gottfried Olearius , medical lectures with Johann Christian Schamberg and Polycarp Gottlieb Schacher and he completed oriental languages ​​with Johann Benedict Carpzov IV (1670–1733). In Leipzig he obtained his bachelor's degree in 1705 , in 1707 he became a master of philosophy and he completed his habilitation in 1709 at the philosophical faculty.

After completing his master's degree, he concentrated on studying theology. For this purpose, Olearius, Thomas Ittig , Gottlob Friedrich Seligmann and Johannes Günther (1660–1714) were his formative instructors. On May 28, 1709 he moved to the University of Wittenberg , where he particularly wanted to expand his theological knowledge. He found accommodation in Johann Georg Neumann's house and attended the lectures by Caspar Löscher , Johann Heinrich Feustking , Martin Chladni and Gottlieb Wernsdorf . There he became a bachelor of theology in 1713 and on this occasion defended his astute treatise "Philadelphianism Berentianus Ecclesiae nostrae nuper oblatus, nunc vero sub examen vocatus" under the chairmanship of Professor Chladni. With this he had acquired the right to hold lectures on theological topics at the Wittenberg University.

These were so popular that he often had to read ten hours a day. In 1717 Stieglitz followed a call to Naumburg, where he became the third deacon at the Wenzelauskirche , rose to the second deacon in 1718 and was appointed archdeacon in 1723. In 1726 he obtained the dignity of a licentiate in theology in Wittenberg , in 1727 he rejected the proposal made to him to become court preacher in Weimar and in 1729 became a councilor to Duke Christian von Sachsen-Querfurt-Weißenfels . In 1742 he rose to the position of senior pastor and scholar in Naumburg and received his doctorate in theology at the theological faculty in Wittenberg in 1744 .
