Biography

Born in Malmö, he was orphaned at an early age and had to rely on others for his education and support. Despite this he managed to get a higher education at the Lund University in theology, philology and Church history, influenced by local academic dignities such as Erik Gustaf Geijer as well as the works of the German Schleiermacher that had just become appreciated in Lund. He later published a thorough history of the Church in Sweden (4 volumes, 1838–1866).

Reuterdahl served as an associate professor at the theological seminary until 1826 and in 1844, he became a professor of dogma. Reuterdahl was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences from 1848 and of the Swedish Academy from 1852.[2]
