Die Kirchlichen Zustände Deutschlands: Ein Rückblick auf die Geschichte der Protestantischen Kirchen Deutschlands im 19. Jahrhundert (Classic Reprint) (German Edition)
(Excerpt from Die Kirchlichen Zustände Deutschlands: Ein R...)
Karl Georg Stockhardt was an American Lutheran clergyman. He was the author of numerous contributions to the periodicals and publications of the Missouri Synod.
Background
Karl was born on February 17, 1842 at Chemnitz, Saxony, Germany, the eldest of the four children of Julius Adolf and Rosalie (Liebster) Stockhardt. His father, a distinguished chemist and teacher, was descended from five generations of Lutheran pastors, and in his only son the clerical instincts welled up with renewed force.
Education
He studied theology, 1862-66, at the universities of Erlangen and Leipzig, became an active member of the Christian (non-duelling) student corps, Wingolf, and, after taking his theological examinations, waited seven years for an appointment.
Career
Stockhardt taught till 1870 in a girls' school at Tharandt, studied for short terms at Berlin and Marburg, assisted for a few trying months of 1870 at the eglise des Billettes in Paris, served as chaplain in the hospitals of Sedan, and latterly became a teacher in the Gymnasium at Erlangen, at the same time holding a repetent's position in the University.
Finally, in October 1873, he was made deacon of the State Church congregation at Planitz, near Zwickau, probably because it was thought that his zeal and orthodoxy would check the influence of Friedrich K. T. Ruhland, the Missouri-trained leader of the Saxon Free Church, who was pastor of St. John's in Niederplanitz.
The easy-going ways of the State Church were utterly repugnant to Stockhardt's nature, however; he was soon at loggerheads with his ecclesiastical superiors and with the greater part of his parish; and in 1876 he quit the State Church amid a blaze of polemics and joined Ruhland's party. He founded a paper, Die Freikirche, to continue the argument and, having charged the State Church with apostasy, was soon indicted for libel and blasphemy.
At this juncture C. F. W. Walther came to his rescue, and in the early autumn of 1878 Stockhardt left Germany to become pastor of Holy Cross Church, St. Louis, Missouri.
His thirty-four years in St. Louis, interrupted only by a severe illness in 1900-01 and by the two trips to Germany, were busy, happy, and rich in achievement.
He was editor, also, with E. W. Kohler, of Vol. X, Die Catechetische Schriften (1892), of the St. Louis edition of Luther's works. Frequent homiletic, devotional, and polemical passages enhance the interest and practical usefulness of his work, which still continues to shape the teaching and preaching of the Missouri Synod.
His death came, without warning, of an apoplectic stroke.
Achievements
Karl Georg Stockhardt was well-known as pastor of Holy Cross and professor in Concordia Theological Seminary, in which he had given instruction in Biblical exegesis for many years.
His literary productions included Die Kirchliche Zustende Deutschlands (1892); Das Schlachtfeld von Sedan: Erinnerungen aus dem Kriegsjahr (1914); a series of exegetical works - Kommentar uber den Propheten Jesaia (1902) and others.

Religion
Within the limits set by his adherence to the old Lutheran doctrines of plenary inspiration and his consequently too simple view of the problems of date and authorship, Stockhardt was a Biblical scholar of no mean stature, and his commentaries on Romans, Ephesians, and First Peter are masterpieces of their anachronistic kind.
Views
His learning was coupled with firm belief in the verbal inspiration of the Bible, childlike acceptance of all Bible teachings, and great love of revealed truth. He concentrated on the written Word and unfolded its message in concise, clear, convincing language.
Connections
Stockhardt was twice married: in 1873 to Anna Kinig of Tharandt, who died in 1898; and in 1901 to Mary Kohne of Pittsburgh, who survived him. He had two sons by adoption.
