Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf
(1700-1760)
Introduction
Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf was one of a few Christians of a noble or high birth (1 Cor. 1:26). He was a faithful witness of the Lord, a shepherd of the sheep, zealous for the oneness of the Body of Christ, one who knew the Lord subjectively, and a true slave of the Lord who was persecuted as was his Master.
Philip Doddridge (1702-1751), minister and hymn writer, called Zinzendorf, “that blessed herald of the Redeemer.”
