Hochstetter, Andreas Adam, a distinguished Ger- man theologian of the Lutheran confession, was born Juh^ 13, 1GG8, at Tubingen, and educated at the university of his native place. In 1G88 the reigning prince of his countr>' sent him abroad to visit the different universi- ties of Germany, Holland, and England, where he formed an acquaintance with a number of distinguished schol- ars. He paid particular attention to the study of the Hebrew and English languages. In the latter he made great jiroficiency, and translated into Latin, among oth- ers, Stillingfieet's Ejnstolam ad deistam, etc. On his re- turn he was appointed a professor extraordinarA' at his alma mater. In 1707 he Avas advanced regular profess- or of theology and city preacher of Tiibingen, and in 1711 court preacher and Consistoiial Rath at Stuttgart. Four years later, however, he returned again as professor to the university. He died April 27, 1718.' His own works were mainly dissertations, of which the few pub- lished are in pamphlet form.

Hodegetics, a word properly signifpng the art of induction, or, better, the art of introduction (Ttxvri being understood with o^ijyrjrtKi)), but general)}' taken to signify introduction (oc'j/y/a) itself, especially when reference is made to scientific Hodegetics. The I/ode- f/ete (oS)]yrjTi]c). of course, is expected to be tlioroughly conversant with the science of which he treats, and which he is to introduce, else he might easily lead in the wrong direction, or into another department. Oth- er names for this science are Methodology (from pi^o- f^oc), or Propa2deutics (from Trpo and Trai^ivw, Trfuc), or Isagogics (from f/'c and d'yw). The difference between Hodegetics and Encyclopaedia (q. v.) of Theology is, that " the former has regard to the personal qualifications of the student, his method of study, his preparatory- helps, etc., whereas the latter has regard to the various depart- ments and systems of the science itself." The literature of Hodegetics is quite extensive. See Schlegel, Summe r. Erfahrunrjen vnd Beohh. z. BefOrd. d. Studien in gel. Schulen nndavf. Univ. (Riga, 1790) ; Kiesevetter, Lehrb. d.
