From the McClintock and Strong Biblical Cyclopedia: Friedrich Arndt (1802-1881) was a Protestant doctor of theology, and one of the most prominent German pulpit orators of the 19th century. "Zuchold, in his Bibliotheca Theologica, containing-the literature from 1830 to 1862, fills almost five printed pages with the publications of this learned divine. There is hardly anything in the homiletical department upon which he did not preach... Dr. Schaff, in his Germany: its Universities, Theology, and Religion, while speaking of the ministers at Berlin, mentions Arndt as belonging to those 'most fearless, pungent, heart-piercing preachers' of the age, who attract the largest crowds of devout hearers, often bathed in tears of repentance and gratitude for the infinite mercy of God in Christ.'"
