George Dering Wolff was an American Protestant minister, later after a conversion an editor of Catholic publications.
George graduated A.M. from Marshall College, Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, and there studied law for three years at Easton.
Though admitted to the Bar, he never practised, but after a four years' theological course became a minister of the German Reformed Church.
The elder Wolff and his son were staunch followers of John Williamson Nevin, who in 1843 began to develop in their sect a system of theology which, whilst strongly opposing Catholicism, held Christ's Church to be a living organism and sought to restore what they held to be teachings of Christ repudiated by the Protestant Reformation (see G. D. Wolff's article "The Mercersburg Movement" in "American Catholic Quarterly", 1878).
His wife, Sarah Hill, became a convert to Catholicism, as did his brother, Christian Wolff.
