Ferdinand Stosch

Ferdinand Stosch (born December 30, 1717 in Liebenberg , today Löwenberger Land , † August 17, 1780 in Detmold ) was a German Reformed theologian.

Life

The son of the pastor and later court preacher in Potsdam Ferdinand Stosch , brother of the theologian Eberhard Heinrich Daniel Stosch and nephew of the art collector and diplomat Baron Philipp von Stosch was mute for the first three years of his life, but later gained a great skill in speaking. His first training was received in 1721 by private tutors in Potsdam and in 1729 he became a pupil of the Joachimsthalsches Gymnasium in Berlin. At the same time he was accepted among the alumni of the theological seminary and thus found the opportunity to attend the Collegia Pietatis. In 1737 he moved to the University of Frankfurt (Oder), where Johann David Grillo (1689–1766), Tilemann Heinrich Siegel (1670–1754) and Paul Ernst Jablonski were his teachers in theological subjects.

Johann Friedrich Polack (1700–1772) instructed him in philosophy and Friedrich Wilhelm Roloff in history . He also attended some law lectures in order to get a versatile education. In Frankfurt an der Oder, Stosch became the founder of a literary association among several students who sought to expand and correct their knowledge in scientific discussions and exercises. He also founded this literary association in Berlin , where he had become court master in 1739. In 1742 Stosch lived in his mother's house, who had moved from Potsdam to Berlin, and continued his studies in private. At the same time he practiced preaching.

In 1743 he went to Lingen (Ems) , where he became assistant to the school rector of the reformed Latin school and took over the position of rector in the same year. In 1746 he became an associate professor of the Greek and Roman languages ​​and antiquity at the Lingen academic high school . In 1750 the German Society of Göttingen made him an honorary member. King Friedrich II appointed him librarian at the university in Lingen in 1755. In 1761 he went to Berlin. There he was professor of theology and vice-principal at the Joachimstalisches Gymnasium. He resigned from this relationship in 1771 because he was appointed consistorial councilor and general superintendent of Lippe-Detmold in Detmold, where he finally lived to see the end of his life.

In 1744 he married Christine Meiling, the daughter of the preacher in Lingen and professor of theology Zeno Meiling. His son Ferdinand Stosch (theologian, 1750) also gained importance as a theologian. His son Friedrich Heinrich Philipp also became a preacher at the Reformed church in Magdeburg.

Act

Stosch became known as a theological writer through several dissertations of antiquarian and exegetical critical content. These include his studies de nominibus urbis Thyatirae (1743), de Angelo ecclesiae Thyatirenae (1743), de situ Thyatirorum (1744), de stelle matutina Thyatirenis promissa (1745) and others. In the last-mentioned treatise he put forward the view that rule is promised both by the morning star and by the iron scepter. His Tractatus theologicus de epistolis Apostolorum idiographis , published in 1751 , showed that the apostles did not use any assistants to write their letters, but wrote them themselves.

Related content to this treatise was the Diss. De Epistolis Apostolorum non non deperditis published in 1754 . Elsner's well-known critical-philological commentary on the Gospel of Matthew was printed in a new edition from 1767 to 1773, accompanied by valuable comments. Earned Stosch made itself also by a Latin Compendium of the New Testament Archeology (1769), with its Museum criticum (1774) and by the continuation of by Johann Christoph Strodtmann (1717-1756) started, not unimportant for theological literature work of "The New learned Europe ”, from the 9th to the 21st part. He also appeared as a poet.
