Hans Ording

Hans Nielsen Hauge Ording (17 August 1884 – 18 February 1952) was a Norwegian theologian.

He was born in Solum as a son of dean Theodor Ording (1837–1908) and Johanne Gabrielle Gustava Andrea Hauge (1851–90).

He finished the thesis Untersuchungen über Entwicklungslehre und Teleologi in 1921, which earned him the Dr. Theol.

In 1939 he was appointed as professor at the University of Oslo, a position which had been vacant for a year, in waiting of Ording to finish the book Dogmatisk metode.

In addition to his thesis and Dogmatisk metode, his most important work was Estetikk og kristendom (1929).
