Complete in one volume. Philadelphia: James M. Campbell and Co. 1844. 8vo. pp. 331. THE translator of this celebrated work has given us a brief memoir of the author, which is, in substance as follows. John Augustus William Neander, was born at Göttingen, January 16, 1789. His youth was spent chiefly at Hamburg. Having renounced Judaism, he began his academical studies at Halle, in 1806, and completed them at Göttingen, under the venerable Planck. After a short residence at Hamburg, he commenced, in 1811, at Heidelberg, as a theological teacher; and in 1812 became theological professor extraordinary. Here he published his work on the Life and Times of the Emperor Julian. The next year he was called to the University of Berlin. His work on St. Bernard soon followed. In 1818 appeared his history of the Gnostics. His next labour was the interesting and learned Biography of Chrysostom. In 1825, he published his 'Denkwürdigkeiten,' or Memorabilia of early Christianity. All these |
