About the author
Born in Nordwalde on September 8, 1872, Otto Cohausz was a German Jesuit priest and theological writer. He died in Danzig on June 3, 1938. Reference sources describe him not only as a Catholic theologian, but also as a popular mission preacher, which helps explain the direct, accessible tone associated with his writing.
Cohausz wrote devotional and theological works in German, including books focused on the inner life, Scripture, and practical religious reflection. Titles linked to him show a strong interest in helping readers connect doctrine with everyday spiritual struggle, making him part of a tradition of authors who wrote for both instruction and encouragement.
Although he is not widely known today, his books preserve the voice of a working pastor and Jesuit thinker from a turbulent period in German religious life. Readers coming to him now may find a writer concerned less with abstraction than with conscience, suffering, faith, and the demands of Christian living.
