ALTING, JOHANN HEINRICH (1583-1644)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 764 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ALTING, JOHANN HEINRICH (1583-1644) , German divine, was born at Emden,where his father, Memo
Alting
  (1541-1612), was minister. Johann studied with
great
  success at the universities of
Groningen
  and Herborn. In 16o8 he was appointed tutor of Frederick, afterwards elector-palatine, at
Heidelberg
 , and in 1612 accompanied him to England. Returning in 1613 to
Heidelberg
 , after the
marriage
  of the elector with Princess Elizabeth of England, he was appointed professor of dogmatics, and in 1616 director of the theological department in the Collegium Sapientiae. In 1618, along with Abraham Scultetus, he represented the university in the synod of Dort. When
Count
  Tilly took the city of Heidelberg (1622) and handed it over to plunder,
Alting
  found
great
  difficulty in escaping the fury of the soldiers. He first retired to Schorndorf; but, offended by the " semi-Pelagianism " of the
Lutherans
  with whom he was brought in contact, he removed to Holland, where the unfortunate elector and " Winter King " Frederick, in
exile
  after his brief reign in Bohemia, made him tutor to his eldest son. In 1627 Alting was appointed to the chair of theology at
Groningen
 , where he continued to lecture, with increasing reputation, until his death in 1644. Though an orthodox Calvinist, Alting laid little stress on the sterner side of his creed and, when at Dort he opposed the
Remonstrants
 , he did so mainly on the ground that they were " innovators." Among his works are: 1V otae in Decadem Problematum Jacobi Behm (Heidelberg, 1618); Scripta Theologica Heidelbergensia (Amst., 1662); Exegesis Augustanae Confessionis (Amst., 1647).
