Georg Joachim Zollikofer (1730-1788). b. Saint Gall, Switzerland; d. Leipsic, Germany. He was for thirty years the pastor of the Reformed Congregation at Leipsic. Zollikofer was influenced by the Enlightenment, and saw Christianity as the means God uses to perfect the character of man, and the atonement as an expression of God's willingness to forgive. He did, however, insist on the historical facts of Christ's miracles, resurrection, and ascension.
"His personal character was thoroughly upright and manly, and also kindly and benevolent. He was self-possessed and of an equitable temper. The care with which he chose the precise word he needed made him eloquent in the pulpit, but reticent in ordinary intercourse with men." - M'Clintock & Strong.
