Johann Adam Möhler
Johann Adam Möhler (6 May 1796 – 12 April 1838) was a German Roman Catholic theologian and priest associated with the Catholic Tübingen school.He was born at Igersheim in the Bailiwick of Franconia of the Teutonic Order (from 1809 on part of Württemberg), and after studying philosophy and theology in the lyceum at Ellwangen, entered the University of Tübingen in 1817. Ordained to the priesthood in 1819, he was appointed to a curacy. He returned to Tübingen where he became ''privatdozent'' in 1825, an associate professor of theology in 1826 and a full professor in 1828.
His lectures drew large audiences that included many Protestants. The controversy aroused by his ''Symbolik'' (1832) was such that in 1835 he left for the University of Munich, because of polemics with the Protestant Tübingen theologian Ferdinand Christian Baur. In 1838 he was appointed to the deanery of Würzburg, but died shortly afterwards.
He died young but was very influential for other theologians, such as Henri de Lubac, Yves Congar, and others.
As a church historian, he has a more confessional and conservative orientation and organic thinking. Provided by Wikipedia
