Philip Schaff (January 1, 1819 – October 20, 1893) was a Swiss-born, German-educated Protestant theologian and ecclesiastical historian,[1] who spent most of his adult life living and teaching in the United States.
Writings
Schaff served as president of the committee that translated the American Standard Version of the Bible, though he died before it was published in 1901.
Schaff’s History of the Christian Church resembled Neander’s work, though less biographical, and was pictorial rather than philosophical. He also wrote biographies, catechisms and hymnals for children, manuals of religious verse, lectures and essays on Dante, etc. He translated Johann Jakob Herzog‘s Real-Encyklopädie für protestantische Theologie und Kirche (Encyclopedia in Real Terms of Protestant Theology and Church) into English.
Working with the Evangelical Alliance and the Chicago (1893) World’s Parliament of Religions, and in Germany, through the monthly Kirchenfreund, Schaff strove earnestly to promote Christian unity and union. It was his hope that the Pope (then Leo XIII) would abandon the doctrine of infallibility and undertake the reunion of Christianity. He recognized that he was a “mediator between German and Anglo-American theology and Christianity.”
Schaff was commissioned to supervise the first series of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers.[7] He was later joined by Henry Wace.[8]
