W. H. T. (William Herman Theodore) Dau

Born in 1864 and active well into the early 20th century, W. H. T. Dau wrote, edited, and translated a substantial body of Lutheran religious works. Library records and book listings show him associated with major historical and theological titles, including The Leipzig Debate in 1519, At the Tribunal of Caesar, Ebenezer, and Four Hundred Years.

He was especially engaged with the Lutheran confessional tradition. Surviving catalogs credit him as a translator of works such as Luther’s Large Catechism and as a contributor to the well-known Concordia Triglotta, a German-Latin-English edition of the Lutheran confessional writings.

A memorial article published in 1944 remembers him not only as an author but also as a theologian, educator, and church leader. He died in 1944, leaving behind a body of work that continues to matter for readers interested in Reformation history and confessional Lutheran thought.
