HOLLATZ (HOLLATIUS), DAVID: 1. Lutheran dogmatician; b. at Wulkow, near Stargard (21 m. e.s.e. of Stettin), in Pomerania, 1648; d. at Jakobs hagen (15 m. e. of Stargard) Apr. 17, 1713. He studied at Erfurt and Wittenberg, and became preacher at Patzeriin near Stargard in 1670, at Stargard in 1681 (in 1683 also conrector), rector in Colberg in 1684, and pastor in Jakobshagen in 1692: His principal work is his Examen theologicum acro amaticum (Rostock-afterward Stockholm-and Leipsic, 1707; 7th and 8th eds. by Romanus Teller, 1750 and 1763). 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.
