- SCHLEIERMACHER, FRIEDRICH° (1766–1834), German theologian and
preacher. The young Schleiermacher was an admirer of
henriette herz and frequented the salons of Berlin. He answered
david friedlaender 's audacious Sendschreiben an Probst
Teller (1799) by advocating that Jews, as individuals, be granted
complete emancipation in order to save the Church from contamination by
insincere converts seeking equality. In his Reden ueber die
Religion (1799; On Religion, 1955), he contended that
Judaism was a dead religion, the essence of which lay in God and His
chosen people. This historical dialogue, however, had ceased abruptly
with the fall of the Jewish state; thus Judaism was not a true religion
but rather a political body. Equating revelation with religious
experience, he placed the Old Testament in a very subordinate position
in relation to the New. On the other hand Schleiermacher, a powerful
preacher, exerted a decisive influence on the style of L. Zunz
and other Jewish preachers of the era. Occasionally he attended the
synagogue to listen to the young preachers, making comments to them
afterward.
