Johann Joseph Seyler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Joseph Seyler (born October 24, 1669 in Bayreuth ; † November 7, 1719 in Berg (Upper Franconia) ) was a German educator and Protestant theologian.

Life

The only son of the town clerk Joseph Seyler had received his first training from private tutors. He then attended the seminary in his hometown, in 1662 the local grammar school and, with a scholarship, moved to the Heilbronn grammar school in 1683 .

After he had obtained his higher education entrance qualification, he began studying at the University of Wittenberg and continued his philosophical and theological studies at the University of Leipzig . In Leipzig he had acquired the academic degree of a master’s degree in 1693 , became deputy principal in Hof (Saale) at the grammar school in 1696 and its principal in 1704. In 1714 he took over the parish in Berg, which he held until the end of his life.

Seyler had a thorough knowledge of the various parts of theological knowledge and of the older languages, which he united in his uncharacteristic religiosity and restless activity. He published this knowledge in several Latin programs and dissertations, dogmatic and historical content. This includes individual treatises in which he tried to justify the existence and the effects of angels and spirits against the objections of Baruch Spinoza . Today his writings have only historical value.
