Seeking to establish for himself a middle position between rationalism and supernaturalism, he declared for a "rational supernaturalism," and contended that there must be a gradual development of
Protestant churches.[2] The term Offenbarungsrationalismus ("epiphanic rationalism") has been used to express Ammon's intermediate views.[1]
He was a man of great versatility and extensive learning, a
philosopher as well as a theologian,[1] and a very voluminous author. His principal theological work was the "Fortbildung des Christenthums zur Weltreligion", in 4 volumes (Leipzig, 1833–1840); "Entwurf einer reinen biblischen Theologie" appeared in 1792 (2nd edition, 1801), "Summa Theologiae Christianas" in 1803 (other editions, 1808, 1816, 1830); "Das Geschichte des Lebens Jesu" in 1842, and "Die wahre und falsche Orthodoxie" in 1849.[2]
Von Ammon's style in
preaching was terse and lively, and some of his discourses are regarded as models of pulpit treatment of political questions.[1][2]
