Volkstheologie oder – Von der Freiheit anders zu denken
Der Unterricht in der christlichen Religion bei Helias Meder (1761-1825)
by Hans-Georg Ulrichs
Helias Meder: Ein Theologe der Spataufklarung, der das Pfarramt vor allem als Lehramt verstand.
This volume is devoted to Helias Meder (1761-1825), a theologian in the late Enlightenment who understood his ministerial task above all as a teaching ministry. He received significant impulses from the reformatorische verligting at the University of Groningen. From his first parish in the Groningen countryside, he moved to his home town of Emden, where he soon became the leading reformed theologian in East Friesland. In addition to some occasional theological writings, Meder published a multi-volume interpretation of the Emden Catechism. In the decade before the turn of the century and again shortly before his death, he wrote books of instruction in the Christian faith which were adapted in form and content to the age of the groups being addressed and had various different functions. The books are embedded in the catechetical tradition of the reformed church, but like other contemporary works pursue new paths without following fashionable philanthropism. Meder’s last textbook was valued unitl after the middle of the century as a presentation of standard theology. German text.
