Taco Hajo van den Honert (born March 16, 1666 in Norden (East Frisia) , † February 23, 1740 in Leiden ) was a German Reformed theologian.

Life

Taco Hajo was the son of the engineer and war commissioner Johann van Honart and his wife Ida Hajinga. He lost his mother at an early age, so that his grandmother Hasia van der Meyde took over his upbringing. At the age of eight he began his training at the school in Emden, which he finished at the age of thirteen, since he was supposed to start an academic training after the assessment of his teachers. However, the father felt that he was still too young for that, let him devote two years to practical things in the north and received further mathematical training from his father. In 1681 he moved to the University of Marburg where he studied languages, mathematics and physics.

His studies continued on September 6, 1683 at the University of Leiden , where he attended the lectures of Friedrich Spanheim , Stephanus le Moine and Christoph Wittich (1625–1687), among others . Above all, Wittich was able to win him over to a theological career and familiarize him with the philosophy of René Descartes and the theological conception of Johannes Coccejus . Under Burchard de Volder he defended the treatise Disputatio philosophica de mundi in tempore productione (1686) and in 1687 went to the Illustrious School of Dordrecht to continue his education , where Salomon van Til was his formative teacher. In April 1689 he received an appointment as a pastor in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht , where he also worked as a teacher.

Here he began to work on his first work De waarachtige weil, the God met den Mensch houd, uit een vast grondbeginsel, door hulp van de ingeschapene openbaring Gods afgeleidt en zamengeschakelt , which appeared in the first volume in 1695 in Dordrecht and in 1703 in Amsterdam. In 1730 he added a second volume and his son Johannes van den Honert published the third part in 1742. In 1694 Honert received an appointment as pastor in Brielle , which he held from March 21, 1694 to April 24, 1698. Because on April 8, 1698 he had received an appointment as pastor to Amsterdam , which position he took on May 18, 1698. Here van den Honert established himself as an exegetical and dogmatic author of theological writings, with which he acquired an excellent reputation as a reformed theologian of federal theology and faced many literary controversies.

On August 29, 1714, this earned him an appointment as professor of theology at the University of Leiden. After he had received an honorary doctorate in theology from the university's senate on October 31, 1714, he took up office the following day with the introductory speech "De mysterio primi et secundi Adami". On October 18, 1721 he received the chair for Hebrew antiquities, for which he gave the introductory speech "De necessario ad recte interpretandam scripturam sacram, Antiquitatum Hebraicarum cognitune" on December 5 of the same year. After he had also participated in the organizational tasks of the university as rector of the alma mater in 1720/21 and 1732/33 , he was dismissed from teaching on July 12, 1734 due to his advanced age.

Van den Honert was married twice. His first marriage was on September 5, 1689 with Jacomina van Asperen (* Dordrecht; † August 10, 1705 in Amsterdam), the daughter of Gisbert van Asperen and Maria de Witt. The marriage had thirteen children. Of these, one knows Johann van den Honert , Maria van den Honert (born December 5, 1694 in glasses), Anton (born April 28, 1696 in glasses) and Antonia van den Honert (born November 29, 1697 in glasses) . His second marriage was on August 10, 1707 in Amsterdam with Elisabeth van Midlum.
