LOCKE, GOTTFRIED See also:CHRISTIAN See also:FRIEDRICH (1791–1855) , See also:German theologian, was See also:born on the 24th of See also:August 1791, at Egeln near See also:Magdeburg, where his See also:father was a See also:merchant. He studied See also:theology at See also:Halle and See also:Gottingen. In 1813 he became repetent at Gottingen, and in 1814 he received the degree of See also:doctor in See also:philosophy from Halle; in 1816 he removed to See also:Berlin, where he became licentiate in theology, and qualified as privatdocent. He soon became intimate with See also:Schleiermacher and de Wette, and was associated with them in 1819 in the redaction of the Theologische Zeitschrift. Meanwhile his lectures and publications (among the latter a Grundriss der Neutestamentlichen Hermeneutik, 1816) had brought him into considerable repute, and he was appointed See also:professor extraordinarius in the new university of See also:Bonn in the See also:spring of 1818; in the following autumn he became professor ordinarius. From Bonn, where he had J. C. W. See also:Augusti (1772–1841), J. K. L. See also:Gieseler, and Karl Immanuel See also:Nitzsch for colleagues, he was called in 1827 to Gottingen to succeed K.

F. Staudlin (1761–1826). In that See also:

year he helped to found the Theologische Studien and Kritiken, the See also:chief See also:organ of the " See also:mediation " theology (Vermittelungstlzeologie). At Gottingen he remained, declining all further calls elsewhere, as to See also:Erlangen, See also:Kiel, Halle, See also:Tubingen, See also:Jena and See also:Leipzig, until his See also:death, which occurred on the 4th of See also:February 1855• Lucke, who was one of the most learned, many-sided and influential of the so-called " mediation " school of evangelical theologians (Vermittelungstheologie), is now chiefly known by his Kommentar caber See also:die Schriften d. Evangelisten Johannes (4 vols., 1820–1832) ; it has since passed through two new and improved See also:editions (the last See also:volume of the 3rd edition by E. Bertheau, 1856). He is an intelligent maintainer of the Johannine authorship of the See also:Fourth See also:Gospel; in connexion with this thesis he was one of the first to argue for the See also:early date and non-apostolic authorship of the See also:Apocalypse. His Einleitung in die Offenbarung Johannis was published in 1832 (2nd ed., 1848-1852). He also published a Synopsis Evangeliorum, See also:con-jointly with W. M. L. de Wette (1818, 2nd ed., 1840).
