Johann Philipp Gabler

Johann Philipp Gabler (born June 4, 1753 in Frankfurt am Main , † February 17, 1826 in Jena ) was a German Protestant theologian.

Life

Johann Philipp was born the son of the notary Johann Paul Gabler (* 1715; † 1775) and his wife Anna Maria (née Becker, * 1723; † 1792). After initial training by private teachers, he attended the municipal high school from 1763 , which was then headed by Rector Johann Georg Purmann . On October 7, 1772, he enrolled at the University of Jena , where first philosophical lectures by Christian Friedrich Polz , Johann Peter Reusch , Johann Wilhelm Baier , Johann August Heinrich Ulrich , Lorenz Johann Daniel Suckow , Johann Ernst Basilius Wiedeburg and Johann Ernst Immanuel Walch attended . Especially Johann Jakob Griesbach inspired him for theology, so that he also followed the theological explanations of Johann Gottfried Eichhorn and Ernst Jakob Danovius . After he had acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy on October 9, 1778, he returned to his hometown, where he worked as a teacher at the local grammar school.

Here he had also written articles in the Frankfurter schehrten Zeitung, passed the theological exam before the Ministry of Preachers and moved to Göttingen University as a private lecturer in 1780 . In Göttingen he worked as a private tutor and expanded his knowledge of history under Christian Gottlob Heyne . In 1783 Gabler became professor of philosophy at the Archigymnasium in Dortmund , in 1785 third professor at the University of Altdorf and a deacon at the local church. After receiving his doctorate in theology in 1787, he rose to the second theological professorship in 1793 and was associated with archdeacon of the Altdorf town church of St. Laurentius . Here he also participated in the organizational tasks of the Altdorf University and was rector of the educational institution twice in 1791 and 1799. In 1804 he was appointed second professor of theology at the University of Jena and received the title of Church Council of Saxony Weimar. In 1812 he advanced to the first theological professorship, became a secret councilor and in 1822 a knight of the Saxon-Weimar White Falcon Order , and in 1822 director of the Protestant theological seminar in Jena. At the higher education institution there, he also took part in the organizational tasks of the Salana and was Rector of the Alma Mater in the winter semesters 1806, 1810, 1812, 1818, 1822 .

Gabler paid homage to the most decisive rationalism and did a great job in defining the concept of biblical theology ( De justo discrimine theologiae biblicae et dogmaticae , Altdorf 1787). Most of his work can be found in the journals he edited: Neuestes theologisches Journal (Nuremberg 1798–1800), Journal für Theologische Literatur (1801–1804) and Journal für Auserlesene Theologische Literatur (1805-11).

Gabler was married to Josine Isabelle Christine Hoffmann, daughter of the prorector of the Archigymnasium in Dortmund and professor of theology Gotthilf August Hoffmann (born September 21, 1720 in Glaucha; † April 13, 1769 in Dortmund), with whom he had nine children, since 1785 had, among them the philosopher and successor of Hegel in Berlin, Georg Andreas (1786-1853), and the two Protestant pastors Theodor August Gabler (born January 3, 1788 in Altdorf; † April 25, 1849 in Munich) and Johann Gottfried Gabler ( 1798 in Altdorf; † February 7, 1879 in Dornburg), who later published some of his writings.
