Tersteegen, Gerhard

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | Copyright

Tersteegen, Gerhard (1697–1769), German Protestant devotional writer. He underwent a conversion in a circle of Pietists at the age of 20 and retired into solitude, earning his living as a ribbon-weaver. From 1728 he devoted himself entirely to directing souls and devotional meetings. Besides translating into German French Quietist works, he published poems and hymns, and a set of biographies of Catholic mystics. His piety was highly individualistic. Today he is known chiefly for his hymns. Those translated into English include ‘Lo, God is here!’.
