Life
Momma, son of a businessman, learned Hebrew in Hamburg with Esdras Edzardus and studied theology with Johannes Coccejus in Leiden for five years . A trip to France followed and after his return in 1666 he was appointed first pastor of the newly founded Reformed church in Lübeck . Against much resistance, he was able to work here for seven years and wrote an important work on federal theology . In 1674 Momma was appointed to the theological professorship at the Academic Gymnasium in Hamm (Westphalia) , today's Hammonense Gymnasium . After only two years he moved to Middelburg in the Netherlands as a pastor . However, the synod continued with the governor Wilhelm III. by the fact that Momma, as a follower of Coccejus, was removed from office in February 1677. He went to his friend, Pastor Dr. Willem Anslaer (1633–1694) moved to Delft, and continued his studies here. His contemporaries regarded him as a living library, so great was his knowledge of the various fields of science.
