Martin Grulich (born November 11, 1694 in Lottin near Neustettin in Hinterpommern ; † November 30, 1772 in Torgau ), also Gruhlich , pseudonym: Macarius Gregorius and Magister Thomasius was a German Protestant theologian.
Life
He was born the son of pastor Johannes G. After private lessons with his father, he attended school in Bublitz / Köslin for three years and then the grammar school in Stettin. In 1713 Grulich began studying theology at the University of Wittenberg , which he continued at times at the University of Leipzig . In 1718 he moved to the service of Friedrich August II of Saxony. Grulich took over the first pastor's position in Mittweida in 1728 . Here he got married to Christiane Concordia Stoll, in which several children were born. On October 17, 1731, he acquired the academic degree of a Magister in Wittenberg, in order to receive the position of preacher in Freiberg at the Petrikirche. In 1740 Grulich moved to Freiberg Cathedral in this role. Two years later he went to Torgau as archdeacon and then pastor. On November 19, 1744, he received his doctorate in theology , again in Wittenberg . As a result, Grulich became senior pastor and in 1745 superintendent in Torgau, where he remained until the end of his life.
Grulich emerged as the author of writings with educational content that had a practical and edifying content. Some of the 30 writings he wrote included prayer and communion books. Sometimes these were also of a liturgical nature and dealt with the sciences of faith and Christian ethics.
