Samuel Schultze
Samuel Schultze (also: Schultz, Schulde, Scultetus, Schulcetus ; born October 28, 1635 in Eddelak , † May 30, 1699 in Hamburg ) was a German Lutheran theologian.
Life
The son of the deacon Stephan Schultze visited the Johanneum in Hamburg and began studying philosophy at the University of Wittenberg on February 16, 1656 . On April 28, 1657, he acquired the degree of master's degree in philosophy and continued his theological studies under Abraham Calov . In 1659 he moved to the University of Strasbourg , where he completed studies with Johann Conrad Dannhauer .
In 1667 Schultze became a deacon in Heide (Holstein) and in 1681 was promoted to provost in Norderdithmarschen . When the theological dispute over the Hamburg Opera began in Hamburg, occasionally called the second adiaphoristic dispute , a new constellation arose for future developments, because in the years 1683–1689 all five main pastor positions had to be filled. As the first of the new vacancies to be filled, Schultze came into view and was elected chief pastor at St. Petrikirche in Hamburg on November 4, 1683 .
In order to meet the requirements of that office, he went to the University of Kiel , where he received his doctorate in theology on December 21, 1683 under Matthias Wachsmuth . On January 22nd, 1684 he was introduced as the main pastor at St. Petri Church and four years later on October 26th, 1688 he was elected senior in the ministry of the clergy in Hamburg. As the highest Protestant representative of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg, he represented the interests of the city until the end of his life. In 1690 he was the initiator of the antipietist Hamburg religion reversal , which sparked a lengthy controversy.
