HOFSTEDE DE GROOT, PETRUS (18021886) , Dutch theologian, was born at Leer in
East
 
Friesland
 ,
Prussia
 , on the 8th of October 1802, and was educated at the Gymnasium and university of
Groningen
 . For three years (18261829) he was pastor of the Reformed
Church
  at Ulrum, and then entered upon his lifelong duties as professor of theology at
Groningen
 . With his colleagues L.G. Pareau, J. F. van Vordt, and W. Muurling he edited from 1837 to 1872 the Waarheid in Liefde. In this
review
  and in his numerous books he vigorously upheld the orthodox faith against the Dutch "
modern
  theology "
movement
 . Many of his works were written in Latin, including Disputatio, qua ep. ad Hebraeos cum Paulin. epistolis comparatur (1826), Institutiones historiae ecclesiae (1835), Institutio theologise naturalis (1842), Encyclopaedia theologi christiani (1844). Others, in Dutch, were: The Divine Education of Humanity up to the Coming of Jesus Christ (3 vols., 1846), The Nature of the Gospel
Ministry
  (1858), The "
Modern
  Theology " of the
Netherlands
  (1869), The Old Catholic
Movement
  (1877). He became professor emeritus in 1872, and died at Groningen on the 5th of December 1886.
