Caspar Huberinus
Caspar Huberinus , also: Caspar Hueber , Kaspar Huber etc. (* December 21, 1500 in Stotzard ; † October 6, 1553 in Öhringen ), was a Lutheran theologian, author of the edification, hymn poet and reformer .
Life
He exerted an important effect among his contemporaries as well as among those who lived afterwards, without himself being more prominent. His strength lay in journalism. Huberinus is said to have been a monk and escaped from the monastery. In 1522 he was enrolled in Wittenberg and there entered into personal relationships with Martin Luther .
In Augsburg around 1525 he became an assistant to Urbanus Rhegius and wrote a series of sermons and small edifying treatises that were gladly read. Luther provided one of these writings with a foreword. Most of them appeared in Wittenberg . He was in sharp contrast to the Zwinglians who dominated Augsburg .
After the Augsburg Reichstag in 1530 , when the city had to approach the Lutherans, he supported Johannes Frosch and Stephan Agricola . He worked for Lutheranism through his journalistic writings. He was in constant contact with Wittenberg. Therefore, under the influence of Martin Bucer , he was asked to establish the official connection there. On June 21, 1535 he traveled to Wittenberg and Celle to win Rhegius back for Augsburg. While Johann Forster took his place, Huberinus developed a rich catechetical activity as an assistant to Wolfgang Musculus and published catechisms, sermons and other edification writings.
In his “Streitbüchlein” from 1541, which portrays the central Lutheran views in a beautiful and simple way as probation in life, he only painted his Zwinglian opponents in dark colors. In the following years he was pastor in Öhringen, but declared himself in favor of the Augsburg interim , was recalled to Augsburg, but was expelled by Moritz von Sachsen in 1552 . He had to experience that he was accused of "falling away from the gospel".
He justified himself in his postil and a letter to the council of Öhringen. Although his point of view was difficult to understand, he emphasized, he had acted according to his conscience. His edification writings, on the other hand, are clear and powerful. Some hymns also go back to him.
The phrase " tempora mutantur , nosque mutamur in illis" ("Times change, and we in them") can be traced back to Huberinus .
