Jacob Leonhard Vogel (theologian)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jacob Leonhard Vogel , also Jakob Leonhard Vogel (born September 20, 1729 in Lübeck , † April 7, 1798 in Eutin ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman. From 1788 until his death in 1798 he was the leading clergyman in the Prince Diocese of Lübeck .

Life

After visiting the Katharineum , he studied Protestant theology at the University of Göttingen . In 1751 he passed his exam as a candidate for the Lübeck Spiritual Ministry . In December 1762 he came to the Eutin St. Michaelis Church as a deacon (2nd pastor) . From 1770 to 1788 he was pastor of the Petrikirche in Bosau .

At the beginning of 1788, Prince-Bishop Peter Friedrich Ludwig appointed him chief pastor in Eutin, consistorial councilor and superintendent of the prince-bishopric.

He was a member of the Royal German Society in Göttingen. His writing Antiquities of the First and Oldest Christians , which appeared in 1780, was consistently criticized. It appeared to the reviewers as a print of old college notebooks, perhaps from Blessed Mosheim , against which one could only warn.

Since 1766 he was married to Elisabeth Christina, b. Lamprecht (1741–1809), a daughter of the pastor in Nusse Dominicus Gerhard Andreas Lamprecht and his wife Dorothea, geb. Struve.
