HENHOEFER, hhn"h0f'er, ALOY3 : German theo logian; b. at Vblkersbach (near Carlsruhe) July 11, 1789; d. at Sp6ck (near Carlsruhe) Dec. 5, 1862. He was born of Roman Catholic parents, and in 1811 entered the University of Freiburg, later attending the seminary at Mee-burg, where he was ordained priest. After acting for three years as a private tutor, he was appointed to the parish of MtW hausen in 1818. His sermons soon began to show a marked Evangelical tendency, deepened by his reading of Boos's pamphlet Christus fur uns and in uns. Henh6fer made many enemies, however, and the episcopal vicar at Bruchsal requested him to vindicate himself. In reply he published his Christliches Glaubenabekenntnia des Pfarrers Hen h6fer van Miihlhausen (Heidelberg, 1823), which caused his excommunication from the Roman Catholic Church. Together with many members of his former congregation, he joined the Evangel V.-15

ical Church, and was installed as pastor of Graben (near Carlaruhe) in 1823. Four years later he was appointed to the pastorate of Spock, where he officiated for thirty-five years. Together with several young theologians, whom he had converted, he published a signed protest against anew catechism which had been introduced by the church authorities, which was characteristic of their lukewarm spirit. This pamphlet, published in 1830, and entitled Der neue Landeskotechismus der evangelischen Kirche des Grosaherzogtums Baden, gepriift nach der heiligen Schrift und. den symbolischen Bih chern, became immenselyy popular, and gave rise to a lively controversy, in which even a Catholic clergyman took part, only to be refuted by Henh6fer in his Biblische Lehre room Heilewege and van der Kirche (Speyer, 1832), while only the Christliche Mittedungen, of which he was one of the founders, aided his Evangelical propaganda.

The French Revolution of 1830, and the inner disturbances which agitated Germany in 1848 and 1849, caused a religious upheaval in Baden in favor of liberalism, and Henhofer, was compelled to flee to Stuttgart. During the latter years of his life he published Baden and seine Revolution. Ursache and He-dung (anonymously); Die wahre katholisehe Kirche and.ihr Oberhaupt (Heidelberg, 1845); Das Abendmahl des Hewn oder die Mesas, Christentum and Papattum, Diamant oder Was (Stuttgart, 1852); Die Chriatliche Kirche and die Concordat (Carlsruhe, 1860); and Der Kampf des Unglaubens mit Aberglauben and Glauben, sin Zeichen unaerer Zebt (Heidelberg, 1861).

In 1833 , he became professor of exegesis and church history at Jena. In 1836 he removed to Wolfenbiittel as councilor of the consistory and director of the theological seminary; as a partial fulfilment of his duties here he lectured on Biblical theology and the epistles of Paul, and directed the practical exercises of the candidates for the ministerial office. In 1839 he followed a call to Marburg; he lectured on homiletics, liturgics, church history, history of dogma, Biblical theology, and propsedeutics, assumed the leadership of the Homiletical Society, and in 1843 was entrusted with the superintendency of the Seminarium Thilippinum; in 1848 he became also first librarian of the university library.

Henke's theology was the result of his comprehensive studies in church history and philosophy. He considered the dualism of faith and science an essential factor of the human mind; a higher unity
