Johann Christoph Döderlein
Johann Christoph Döderlein or Doederlein (20 January 1745 in Windsheim – 2 December 1792 in Jena) was a German Protestant theologian.[1]
As professor of theology at Jena from 1782, he was celebrated for his varied learning, for his eloquence as a preacher, and for the important influence he exerted in guiding the transition movement from strict orthodoxy to a freer theology.[2] His most important work Institutio theologi christiani nostris temporibus accommodata was published in 1780.
Johann was the father of the philologist Johann Christoph Wilhelm Ludwig Döderlein, known as Ludwig.
