Johann Georg Abicht

Johann Georg Abicht ( born March 21, 1672 King 's Lake, † June 5, 1740 in Wittenberg ) was a German Lutheran theologian and linguist of the 17th century.

Life

Johann Georg was born in King 's Lake on March 21, 1672, the son of the White tanner and leather merchant Johann Michael Abicht and his wife Margaretha Magdalena, Simon Abicht daughter and his first wife Regina the pastor's daughter in Mellingen Georg Seiler. After the early death of his father, his mother tried to give him the necessary skills for their future. From 1685 he attended high school in Rudolstadt, after 1692 there came to his high school, he enrolled at the University of Jena, in the following year, he turned to the University of Leipzig. In 1697 he earned his master's degree, taught at the university and later became assessor of the philosophical faculty. He took over in 1702 professor of Hebrew language in Leipzig. In September 1708, he earned a licentiate of the Protestant theology and a doctorate on 8 November of the same year Doctor of Protestant theology. After he had in 1710 already held church services at the University Church of St. Paul, he became in 1711 professor of Protestant theology and was in the winter semester 1711 Rector of Leipzig Academy. On January 2, 1715 he was elected a foreign member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences.

In 1717 he came as a General Superintendent to Gdansk, where he also took over the parish of Trinity Church. Abicht was in his time as a connoisseur of Hebrew antiquities. Therefore, he enjoyed an excellent reputation and was appointed in 1729 as Primarioprofessor of theology at Wittenberg, where he afterwards the successor of Gottlieb Werndorf took a year at Whitsun 1730 the Elder as General Superintendent of the Saxon Kurkreise and associated consistory and pastor of the City Church of Wittenberg was. In November 1739 he was substituted for reasons of age and date based on his writings in the Royal Prussian Society of Sciences as a member. When preparing a sermon, he suffered a stroke and died.

Abichts work at the University of Wittenberg fell into an age of new thinking, when people began to consider social relationships from the acquired scientific knowledge. Although the followers of the Enlightenment were not initially unfriendly, it came with the Wittenberg theologians, headed by Abicht, to address. Turned away from the pietism of the previous time, he reached into his writings, polemical philosophical materialists such as John Locke, Voltaire, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Christian Wolff as fanatics and mystics to. Abicht was particularly versed in the oriental and occidental languages, especially English and French, and also had extensive knowledge of philosophy and mathematics. He put this knowledge to an explanation of the Bible and wanted to defend the pure doctrine.

From its closed in Leipzig's St. Nicholas Church on February 11, 1709 marriage to Sabina Magdalena Roessler, the daughter of a Leipzig merchant princes, went three sons forth, who did not survive his father, and a daughter Johanna Magdalena, who on January 26, 1741 the later Leipzig Philology Professor Johann Georg Kiessling married. From Abicht two paintings have survived. The first is in the holdings of the University of Leipzig, the second is located in the reading room of the University Library Wittenberg.
