Schmid Schmidt THE NEW SCHAFF-HERZOG 250 Augsburg) July 31, 1811; d. at Erlangen Nov. 17, 1885. He was educated at the universities of Tu bingen, Halle, Berlin, and Erlangen, and in 1833 was called to the newly founded seminary for preach ers at Munich. Four years later he became a lec turer in the theological faculty at Erlangen, and during this period published his Dogmatik der evan geliscl-lutherischen Kirche (Erlangen, 1843; Eng. transl., Doctrinal Theology of the Lutheran Church, Philadelphia, 1876). In 1846, when he became privat-docent at Erlangen, Schmid published his Geschichte der synkretistischen Streitigkeiten in der Zeit des Georg Calixt (1846). Two years later he was appointed associate professor, and in 1852 full professor, first of church history and systematic theology, and later of historical theology. For his lectures on church history he wrote his Lehrbuch der Kirchengeschichte (Nbrdlingen, 1851), later ex panded into the Handbuch der Kirchengeschichte (2 vols., Erlangen, 1880-81). A similar purpose was served by his Lehrbuch der Dogmengeschichte (Nord lingen, 1860), after he had already published his Theologie Semlers (1858). From 1855 to 1876 Schmid was editor of the Zeitschrift fur Protestantis mus and Kirche, to which he contributed much. His attitude toward Lutheranism was shown by his Kampf der lutherischen Kirche um Luthers Lehre vom Abendmahl in Reformationszeitalter (Leipsic, 1868), and Geschichte der katholischen Kirehe Deutschlands von Mitte des achtzehnten Jahrhunderts bis in die Gegenwart (Munich, 1874). In 1881 he retired from active life. (F. FRANgt.)
