David Hollatz (writer)

David Hollatz '' was a German Lutheran minister grandson of the dogmatician David Hollatz. He was preacher at Güntersberg, near Zachan, in Pomerania from 1730 till his death. After a controversy between Hollatz and Siegmund Jakob Baumgarten of Halle orthodox Lutherans looked upon him with disfavor. He steadily receded more and more from the church doctrines and adopted the views of the Moravians, among whom he found greater sympathy.

Works

He wrote devotional books which were much read and translated. His Sämtliche erbauliche Schriften were published in two parts at Görlitz, 1772–1773, and Frankfort, 1782.
