Franz August Otto Pieper (June 27, 1852 – June 3, 1931) was a Confessional Lutheran theologian; born at Karwitz, Pomerania ( west of Danzig) and died in St. Louis, Missouri.〔Jason Todd and Marvin Huggins, "(Franz August Otto Pieper: Fourth President of the Missouri Synod: 1899-1911 ). (St. Louis: Concordia Historical Institute, 1998)."〕 After studying at the gymnasium of Kolberg, Pomerania, he emigrated to the United States in 1870.〔"(Franz August Otto Pieper )."〕 He graduated from Northwestern College in Watertown, Wisconsin in 1872 and from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis in 1875. He was a Lutheran pastor from 1875 to 1878, serving first at Centerville, Wisconsin and then at Manitowoc, Wisconsin. He became a professor of theology at Concordia Seminary in 1878, and in 1887 he became president of the same institution. He also served as editor of ''Lehre und Wehre'', the faculty journal of Concordia Seminary. From 1882 to 1899, Pieper served on the Board of Colored Missions for the Evangelical Lutheran Synodical Conference of North America. He then served as president of the German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States (Missouri Synod) from 1899 to 1911.〔"(Franz August Otto Pieper )."〕 As a systematic theologian, Franz Pieper's ''magnum opus'', ''Christliche Dogmatik'' (1917-1924), provided the modern world with a learned and extensive presentation of orthodox Lutheran theology.〔Francis Pieper, ''Christian Dogmatics'', 4 vols., (St Louis: CPH, 1950-1953), 1:v.〕 Translated into English as ''Christian Dogmatics'' (1950-1953), it continues to be the basic textbook of doctrinal theology in Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod.〔Robert D. Preus, ed., ''Confessional Lutheran Dogmatics'', 13 vols. (St. Louis: The Luther Academy, 1989-2008), 6:viii.〕 He was also the main author of the Missouri Synod's ''A Brief Statement'' of 1932, an authoritative presentation of that church body's doctrinal stance. thumb ==External links== * (Concordia Historical Institute ) *(Franz August Otto Pieper, The 20th Century Luther ) * (Our Position in Doctrine and Practice ) by Dr. Franz Pieper * (Lectures on the Evangelical Lutheran Church, The True Visible Church of God on Earth ) by Dr. Franz Pieper, trans. by Bryce L.
