Karl Ludwig Nitzsch

Karl Ludwig Nitzsch.

Karl Ludwig Nitzsch (6 August 1751, Wittenberg – 5 December 1831, Wittenberg) was a German theologian, professor of theology since 1790.

Like his son, the better-known Karl Immanuel Nitzsch, he earned some distinction in the theological world by a number of writings, including a work entitled De discrimine revelationis imperaboriae et didacticae prolusiones academicae (2 vols., 1830). Theologically, he represented a combination of supernaturalism and rationalism (supernatural rationalism or a Kantian rational supernaturalism).
