Johannes Paulus Stricker was a theologian and biblical scholar. He was the uncle, by marriage, of Vincent van Gogh, and tutored the young Vincent in theology and biblical criticism. He attended the University of Leiden where he worked with J. F. van Oordt, a key figure in the new Groningen theology. He sat his ordination examination in May 1841, and was appointed to a ministerial post in October of that year.
