Johann Joachim Lange (26 October 1670 – 7 May 1744) was a German Protestant theologian and philosopher.[1]
Lange was born in Gardelegen and educated in Leipzig, Erfurt and Halle. He was influenced by Christian Thomasius and the pietist August Hermann Francke. He became a professor of theology at Halle in 1709, and opposed the philosophy of Christian Wolff.[2] He died in Halle on 7 May 1744.
Lange wrote the hymn O God, what offering shall I give?, translated into English by John Wesley in 1739.[3]
Lange's son, Samuel Gotthold Lange, was a noted poet.
