Peter Abresch
Petrus Abresch (born January 27, 1736 in Middelburg , † December 11, 1812 in Groningen ) was a Dutch Reformed theologian.
Life
Petrus was born as the son of the then rector Friedrich Ludwig Abresch (1699–1782) and his wife Rebecca Trouillard. He had received his first lesson from his father. He began his studies in 1752 at the University of Groningen and continued this in 1756 at the University of Utrecht to devote himself to theology. So he was able to deal in detail with the Greek, Latin and Arabic languages, as the treatise Specimen philologicum in Obadjae V: 1-8 (Utrecht 1756) defended on June 18, 1756 under Sebald Rau (1725-1818 ) shows.
In 1758 he became a preacher in Ingen, went to Dodewaard in the same capacity in 1761 , in Hoorn in 1765 and in Groningen in 1766. In Groningen he became the assistant to Theodorus Lubbers (1731-1804), exerted a great influence on the students and was appointed professor of theology in 1773 , with which he also took over the office of university preacher. He entered this office with a speech Oratio de hermeneutice sacra optimo doctrinae christianae praesidio and had received his doctorate in theology in the same year . A few years later he was teaching New Testament exegesis. For this he had used the theological literature of Johann August Ernesti .
From the study of these scriptures, he laid the foundation for his later biblical theology. Since he, the Orthodox theologian, could no longer add new accents to the new times, his lectures were attended less and less. Finally, on November 6, 1812, he retired. During his time as a university lecturer, he had also taken part in the organizational tasks of the Groningen University and had been rector of the Alma Mater three times. To this end, he gave the speech De hodierna in doctrina religionis novandi lubidine in 1775/76 , De communis hominum vitiositatis origine ac vi in 1791/92 and De sensu hermeneutico in 1799/1800 .
The son Frederik Johannes († March 1, 1831) comes from his marriage to Elisabeth Wicherts (1737? -1822). He became a preacher in Finsterwolde .
