Anton Lutterbeck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anton Lutterbeck (actually: Johann Anton Bernhard Lutterbeck ; born April 23, 1812 in Averbeck ; † December 30, 1882 in Gießen ) was a German Catholic theologian and classical philologist.

Life

The son of the doctor Theodor Lutterbeck (1773-1851) attended grammar school in Münster and from 1828 studied philology for four years at the University of Münster , the University of Berlin and the University of Bonn . In 1834 he passed his exam as a lecturer and completed the legal probationary year in Düsseldorf . In 1834 he began studying Catholic theology at the University of Münster, was ordained a priest on September 23, 1837, and in 1839 acquired the academic degree of a licentiate in theology. Since he opposed the increasing influence of the state on church issues, he was denied a habilitation in Münster in 1840.

After Lutterbeck had received his doctorate in philosophy at the University of Marburg in 1842 , he accepted a call to the Catholic theological faculty of the University of Giessen on April 14, 1842 , where he read as an associate professor on biblical exegesis. There he was appointed full professor of New Testament exegesis, encyclopedia and apologetics on March 29, 1844, and in the same year he received his doctorate in theology. Since the university operations of the Giessen Catholic theological faculty were discontinued in 1851 by the establishment of an episcopal seminary in Mainz, Lutterbeck switched to the philosophical faculty in 1851.

Here he first held lectures, became honorary professor on June 1, 1853 and full professor of classical philology on June 30, 1859. In the course of its development, Lutterbeck had separated more and more from the demands of the Catholic Church. After a dispute with Wilhelm Emmanuel Freiherr von Ketteler , he resigned his priestly functions in the Diocese of Mainz. When he turned against the resolutions of the First Vatican Council , denounced the infallibility of the Pope and joined the Old Catholic Church , he was excommunicated in 1870.
