Johann Karl Volborth (born November 24, 1748 in Nordhausen ; † August 29, 1796 in Gifhorn ) was a German Lutheran theologian .

Life

He received his first education, especially in the ancient languages , in his hometown of Nordhausen. The family relationships are documented in several occasional writings on the occasion of the second marriage of his father Erich Philipp Volborth in 1753 in Stolberg . In 1768 he was enrolled at the University of Göttingen , where he studied theology and philosophy and especially read the Greek and Latin classics of antiquity. 1772 he became a steward place in Hanover, went to Göttingen in 1776, where he carried his defense Inauguraldissertation de Olympo, Thessaliae monte, Deorum sede the master's degree earned.

The next year he was a repetiteur at the theological faculty and in 1778 a preacher at the Nikolaikirche in Göttingen . After 1786 extraordinary professor had become of theology, he received his doctorate in 1791 with the issue of de animi suspicacis natura, fontibus, effectibus et indignitate, respectu inprimis ad doctrinam christianam habito the doctor of theology . In 1792 he went to the St. Nicolai Church in Gifhorn, Lüneburg, as superintendent ; he held this office until his death.

Act

Volborth adhered strictly to the orthodox Lutheran doctrinal term of the Protestant Church , as it emerges particularly from his work Vindiciis orthodoxiae a saeculi nostri criminationibus , published in 1786 . His works show a thorough theological and philological knowledge. It became popular among scholars through a new edition of Gotthilf Traugott Zachariae's paraphrased explanation of the letters to the Corinthians, accompanied by theological-philological notes, and through the continuation of the biblical theology published by that scholar . He accompanied his translations of the twelve little prophets (1783), Ezekiel (1787), Daniel (1788) and Jeremias (1795) with short notes for unstudied readers.

For elementary instruction he wrote a compendium on Christian antiquity in 1789 and a similar textbook on theological polemics in 1790 . The results of his linguistic research can be found in his new philological library , published in four volumes from 1777 to 1778. He had this collection followed by a three-volume Bibliotheca philologica and a two-volume Nova Bibliotheca philologica et critica in 1779 . As a pulpit speaker he appeared in his "Christian sermons on the evangelical texts" published in 1791 and in the " epistolic sermons ... ". He also added several casual sermons to the latter collection .
