Julius Müller
Julius Müller ( born April 10, 1801 in Brieg, † September 27, 1878 in Halle) was a Protestant theologian.
Karl Otfried Müller His brothers were (1797-1840) and Eduard Müller ( 1804-1875 ).
Müller studied in Breslau, Göttingen and Berlin, first law, then Protestant theology. In 1825 he became pastor at Schönbrunn, county chasing ( Lower Silesia), 1831 University of preachers in Göttingen, where he received his habilitation. In 1835 he was appointed professor of dogmatic theology in Marburg, where he officiated 1838/39 as rector. In 1839 he moved to the University of Halle. Here he became a church- politically influential defender of the Prussian Union, for which he designed a doctrinal basis to the General Synod of 1846. His book on the Protestant Union of 1854 sought to prove that the confessions of Lutheran and Reformed matched in fundamental. In 1848 he participated in the founding of the German Protestant Church Congress. In 1850 he founded August Neander and Karl Immanuel Nitzsch the German magazine for Christian Science and Christian life ( until 1861 ), a leading body of the mediating theology. However, Miller can only be conditionally assigned to this school. Equally clear is the influence of revivalism, especially thanks to the close relationship with his faculty colleagues August Tholuck. Especially in his major work on the theological doctrine of sin he shows himself as an opponent of liberalism, because he sees the pursuit of autonomy as a source of sin.
During his professorship in Halle ( Saale), he became Honorary Philistines Halle Wingolf.
