Baumgarten-Crusius came from a Protestant pastor's family. He was born the son of superintendent Gottlob August Baumgarten-Crusius (born April 1, 1742 in Penig; † December 15, 1816 in Merseburg) and his wife Charlotte Sophia Löwe († March 7, 1811 in Merseburg). At the age of six he had already received a private tutor, moved to the cathedral school in Merseburg in 1799 and the electoral Saxon state school in Grimma in 1801 , where the rector of the facility, Friedrich Wilhelm Sturz, exercised lasting influence on the adolescents. On March 29, 1805 he enrolled at the University of Leipzig , where he initially devoted himself to philosophical and philological studies. Animated by his brother Karl Wilhelm Baumgarten-Crusius (born January 24, 1786 in Dresden, † May 12, 1845 in Meißen), he dealt with theological topics. His teachers were mainly Johann August Wolf (born December 5, 1750 in Nauenhof; † February 24, 1809 in Leipzig), Christian Daniel Beck , Karl August Gottlieb Keil and Christian Friedrich Illgen (born September 16, 1786 in Chemnitz; † 4. December 1844 in Leipzig).

On March 3, 1808, he earned his doctorate in philosophy and completed his theological exam on October 10, 1808 in Dresden . On September 13, 1809 he completed his habilitation in Leipzig with the defense of the work de Phiebo Platonico as a private lecturer in the philosophical faculty. In 1810 he became a bachelor's degree in theology, thus receiving the right to give theological lectures and becoming an early preacher at the University Church in Leipzig . After he had drawn attention to himself, he received an appointment as extraordinary professor of theology at the University of Jena on September 11, 1812 . In 1817 he became a full honorary professor in 1817, received an honorary doctorate in theology in the same year and in 1824 took over the full fourth professorship at the theological faculty. After Johann Philipp Gabler's death he moved to the third professorship in 1826, after the death of Heinrich August Schott (* December 5, 1780 in Leipzig; † December 29, 1835 in Jena) to the second professorship and after Johann Traugott Leberecht Danz had retired in the first professorship.

In 1828 he became the secret church councilor of Saxony-Altenburg , in 1834 he was knight of the white falcon order and in 1837 he was awarded the ducal Saxony-Ernestian house order . In addition, he was director of the theological seminary from 1836 and made a contribution to researching the history of dogma. He also took part in the university's organizational tasks and was rector of the Alma Mater in the winter semesters of 1826, 1832 and 1841 . On May 31, 1843, he was still lecturing and died of a heart attack that evening.

In 1817, Baumgarten-Crusius married Friederike Wilhelmine Ed. (1796–1849), the only daughter of Professor Johann Samuel Ed . Only one daughter survived from the marriage.
