Tittmann, Johann August Heinrich a German divine, was born at Langensalza, Aug. 1,1773. He studied at Wittenberg and Leipsic, and in 1796 became one of the theological professors in the latter of these universities. He died Dec. 30, 1831. His writings are numerous, and belong to various departments of sacred science. The following only need to be specified here: Theolog. Encyklop. (1798): —De Synonymis N.T.(1829), the second part of which was edited after his death by Becher (1832); the whole, with some appended dissertations, translated into English by Craig (Edinb. Bib. Cabinet [1833- 37, 2 vols.]): —and his edition of the Greek New Test., "ad fidem optimortm librorum recens." (1820-24). His polemical writings, in which he labors to reconcile theology with philosophy, and to defend evangelical truth against rationalism, are the most valuable productions of his pen.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.

He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry.
