History
Why Is Johann Erhard Kapp Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Johann Erhard Kapp was a German rhetorician and historian. Life Johann Erhard Kapp was born in Oberkotzau, a small market town in the hill country between Leipzig and Nuremberg. His father was a carter . In 1796 he enrolled at the secondary school in Hof, a couple of hours to the north of Oberkotzau. However, according to at least one source he was removed from the school after six months and instead taught privately. In 1714 he moved away from home to study at Leipzig, where he would make his career. Among his more noteworthy teachers, Christian Friedrich Börner taught him Biblical Exegesis and aspects of Church History. Johann Gottlob Carpzov introduced him to New Testament scholarship. In an age before university libraries had become mainstream, another Leipzig scholar, Johann Burckhardt Mencke, provided valuable support by allowing Kapp access to his extensive personal library. The denominational context in the Leipzig Theological faculty was by this time one of Lutheran orthodoxy.
