Joachim Oporin

Joachim Oporin (also: Oporinus ; born September 12, 1695 in Neumünster ; † September 5, 1753 in Göttingen ) was a German Protestant theologian .

Life

The son of the preacher Konrad Oporin († 1713) received his first education at the city school in his hometown. Soon he went to Hamburg, where he had lessons from private tutors. In 1711 he moved to the University of Kiel and studied philosophy there. His teachers were Matthias Nicolaus Kortholt (1674–1725), Andreas Ludwig Königsmann (1679–1728) and Friedrich Gentzke (1678–1757). At the same time he frequented the theological lectures with Heinrich Muhle (1666–1733) and Albert zum Felde (1675–1720), where he was particularly interested in the exegetical lectures.

After he had disputed with de subjectis et praetensionibus regni divini in 1716 , he switched to the University of Wittenberg as a theology student on April 26, 1716 . Here Oprin followed the lectures of Gottlieb Wernsdorf the Elder , Martin Chladni and Georg Friedrich Schröer . In addition, trips to lectures at the University of Halle , the University of Leipzig and the University of Jena enriched his knowledge. A study trip to England was prevented by an illness. On October 17, 1718, he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy in Wittenberg .

When he returned to Kiel he acquired the right to teach at universities with the disputation de perennitate animi humani . In 1733 Karl Friedrich von Holstein appointed him associate professor of theology at Kiel University. In connection with this he became an assessor of the Kiel upper consistory . In May 1735 he went to Göttingen University as a full professor of theology and received his doctorate in theology in the same year .

Oporin died unmarried in that office.

Act

Oporin developed an orthodox doctrine in the pulpit and during his lectures on holometrics, dogmatics and morals. In close connection with the Bible, he underlined the pietistic demand for the awakening of a personal practice pietatis and, taking up corresponding suggestions from the early Enlightenment philosophy, also gave reason a certain value for the exposition of Christian truths of faith.

In the beginning he explained the claims of the Old Testament in the New Testament and asked his audience to do their own work.
