Jan Jakob van Oosterzee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jan Jakob van Oosterzee (April 1, 1817 – July 29, 1882), Dutch divine, was born at Rotterdam.
After acting as pastor at Alkmaar and Rotterdam, in 1863 he was made professor of biblical and practical theology at the University of Utrecht. Oosterzee earned a reputation as a preacher, was editor of the Theolog. Jahrbücher from 1845, wrote a number of noteworthy books on religious history, and published poems in Dutch (1882).
A collected edition of Oosterzee's works was published in French, Œuvres complètes, in three volumes (1877-1880). His autobiography appeared in 1882. His book Practical Theology was one of two "most influential" works on that topic in the United States.[1] His theological position is described as premillenial[2] and mild chiliast[3]
