Emil Gustav Lisco

Emil Gustav Lisco ( born January 13, 1819 in Berlin, † February 8, 1887 ) was a German Protestant pastor.

Lisco was the son of the theologian Friedrich Gustav Lisco and came in the studies with the liberal theology in touch. In 1845 he became pastor at St. Mary's Church in Berlin in 1859 at the New Church. He was among the opponents of the state church policy of Frederick William IV. His liberal theology stood in sharp contrast to the Lutheran- confessional pietism of the revival preacher Gustav Knak. In 1868 he was appointed by the University of Heidelberg awarded an honorary doctorate.

1872 was Emil Lisco by his lecture "On the Apostles' Creed " next to Karl Sydow the trigger of Apostolikumsstreits by describing the virgin birth and the Descent into Hell as legends, which resulted in a disciplinary referral. Under the self- complaint for non-use of the Apostles' Creed, he was dismissed from the pastorate. In 1880 he was one of the signers of the Declaration notables.

Emil Lisco was buried in the cemetery II of Jerusalem and the New Church in Berlin- Kreuzberg. In the family grave and his son, the lawyer Hermann Lisco rests.
