Markus Bäumler , also Marcus Beumler (* 1555 in Volketswil ; † July 30, 1611 in Zurich ) was a Swiss Protestant clergyman and university professor.

Life

From April 4 to 14, 1584 he was a participant in the Heidelberg disputation, in which Reformed and Lutherans were about the doctrine of predestination . In 1586 he undertook together with other Zurich scholars, among others Kaspar Waser , Raphael Egli (1559-1622), Hans Ulrich Wolf (1559-1637) and Rudolf Gwalther , the attempt, Jörg Riedel from the Allgäu and Heinrich Pfister from Wädenswil , which were on a Hutterite mission and are now imprisoned in the wave mountain to convert.

In 1587 he became school rector in Neuhausen near Worms and was pastor in Alzey in 1590 or 1592 , until he returned in 1594 as the second deacon to the Grossmünster in Zurich.

In 1601 he was appointed professor for Greek , then for catechetics and finally for the Old Testament at the High School in Zurich , which was associated with the chairmanship of the biannual synodal disputations .

He died in Zurich during the great plague epidemic .

Writing

Markus Bäumler was the author of numerous controversial theological writings, especially those directed against the Lutherans, as well as a Latin grammar written in 1595 . He was also the author or at least co-author of the Zurich Catechism of 1609, into which he integrated the Heidelberg Catechism , for which he wrote a detailed explanation and apology in 1610 .

His work Theodoretus ... , published in Zurich in 1593, was placed on the index by decree of the Roman Catholic Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of August 7, 1603 (the dates vary somewhat in the literature) .
