Frederick Wilhelm Krummacher was born in Prussia in 1796. He held a pastorate in Germany but firmly held the old Lutheranism, renouncing rationalism. He came to New York in 1843, but turned down offers to return to Germany in 1847 and settled in Berlin. He died in Prussia on December 10, 1868. He was a prolific writer and is best known for his book, Elijah the Tishbite.
Friedrich Wilhelm Krummacher was the son of Friedrich Adolf, who studied theology at Halle and Jena, and became pastor successively at Frankfurt (1819), Ruhrort (1823), Gemarke, near Barmen in the Wupperthal (1825), and Elberfeld (1834). In 1847 he received an appointment to the Trinity Church in Berlin, and in 1853 he became court chaplain at Potsdam.
He was an influential promoter of the Evangelical Alliance. His best-known works are Elias der Thisbiter (1828-1833; 6th ed. 1874; Eng. trans. 1836); Elisa (1837) and Das Passionsbuck, der leidende Christus (1854, in English "The Suffering Saviour", 1870). His Autobiography was published in 1869 (Eng. trans. 1871).
