The work is the last of the strict Lutheran systems of dogmatics. Hollatz knows Pietism, but does not mention it, although he refutes mysticism. The system is divided into qucestiones, which are explained by probationes; these are fol lowed by antitheses, against which the different inatantia are brought forward. Hollatz also pub lished Scrutinium veratatis in mysticorum dogmata (Wittenberg, 1711); Ein gottgeheiligt dreifaehes Kleeblatt (Leidender Jesus) (1713); a collection of sermons; and other works. 2. Grandson of the preceding, preacher at Gün tersberg, near Zachau, in Pomerania from 1730 till his death, June 14, 1771. He wrote devotional books which were much read, often translated, and are still being edited and republished (e.g., Gebahnte Pilgerstrasse nach dem Berge Zion, Basel, 1866; Evangelische Gnadenordnungen, Basel, 1894; Eng. transl., The Order of Evangelical Grace in the Economy of Salvation, London, 1838; Verherr lichung Christi in seinem theueren and unschatz baren Blute, Basel 1894). After a controversy between Hollatz and S. J. Baumgarten of Halle the orthodox looked upon him with disfavor. He steadily receded more and more from the church doctrines and adopted the views of the Moravians, among whom he found greater sympathy. His Samtliche erbauliche Schriften were published in 2 parts at Görlitz, 1772-73, and Frankfort, 1782.
