Johannes Hoornbeek

Johannes Hoornbeek

Johannes Hoornbeek (also: Hoornbeeck, Horenbeek ; born November 4, 1617 in Haarlem , † September 1, 1666 in Leiden ) was a Dutch Reformed theologian.

Life

Hoornbeek's family roots lie in Flanders, from where his grandfather, named Johannes, fled to Holland from religious persecution in 1548. He was the son of the businessman Tobias Hornbeek and his wife Jannecke Baerts. After he had received his first education, he moved to the University of Leiden at the age of sixteen , where he lectured by Daniel Heinsius , Constantinus L'Empereur van Oppyck (1551-1648), Jacobus Golius (1596-1667), Franco Petri Burgersdijk , Antonius Thysius the Elder and Antonius Walaeus (1573-1639) visited. The plague forced him to leave Leiden and to begin his studies at the newly founded University of Utrecht in 1635 .

Here he became a student of Gisbert Voetius for a year . After resuming his studies in Leiden, he became a preacher in Mülheim am Rhein on March 1, 1639 . On December 21, 1643 he received his doctorate in theology in Utrecht under Voetius with the Disputationes decem anti-Judaicae (Utrecht 1644), was appointed preacher Maastricht on March 3, 1644 and professor of theology at the University of Utrecht on July 10, 1644 . He took up this office with the speech Oratio inauguralis de studio S. theologiae ... VI idus Julii (Utrecht 1644). The following year he became a preacher in Utrecht. In Utrecht he had taught the oriental languages, devoted to dogmatics and the interpretation of the New Testament.

After he had become rector of the Utrecht Alma Mater in 1650/51 , he went on June 9, 1654 as professor of theology at the University of Leiden, which office he assumed with the speech Oratio inauguralis de scholis theologicis ... (Leiden 1654). In that capacity he also had to endure hostility during that time. The reason for this may have been his own polemical behavior against other theological currents within the Reformed Church. As a supporter of his teacher Voetius, he represented the orthodox current of the Dutch Reformed Church and was an opponent of Johannes Coccejus (1603–1669) and Abraham Heidanus (1597–1678). Nevertheless, he was able to take part in the organizational tasks of the Leiden University and was rector of the Leiden Alma Mater in 1664/65 .

The sons Isaak and Hendrik Emilius come from his marriage to Anna Bernard.
