1511 1569 Divine Hebrew Hondius Protestant Scholar
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Paul Eber (1511-1569), a prominent German Protestant divine and Hebrew scholar. Born in Nuremberg, Eber studied theology and Hebrew at the University of Wittenberg under the tutelage of Martin Luther. He became a prominent figure in the Protestant Reformation, serving as a pastor in various churches and contributing significantly to the development of Lutheran theology. Eber's expertise in Hebrew language and scripture set him apart from his contemporaries. He translated the Old Testament from Hebrew into German, producing a comprehensive edition that included extensive annotations and commentaries. This work, known as the "German Bible," became a cornerstone of Lutheran theology and a crucial resource for Protestant scholars. In addition to his biblical scholarship, Eber was also an accomplished hymnwriter, penning numerous hymns that continue to be sung in Lutheran worship services today. One of his most famous hymns, "O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig," is still sung during Holy Week and Easter services. Eber's influence extended beyond the borders of Germany, as his works were translated into other languages and disseminated throughout Europe. He also played a role in the spread of Protestantism in Poland and the Low Countries. This photograph print, featuring a portrait of Paul Eber, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable figure in the history of Christianity. Eber's contributions to theology, biblical scholarship, and hymnody continue to resonate with scholars and believers alike, making him an enduring figure in the annals of religious history.
