See also:AGRICOLA (originally See also:SCHNEIDER, then SCHNITTER), JOHANNES (1494-1566) , See also:German See also:Protestant reformer, was See also:born on the loth of See also:April 1494, at See also:Eisleben, whence he is sometimes called Magister Islebius. He studied at See also:Wittenberg, where he soon gained the friendship of See also:Luther. In 1519 he accompanied Luther to the See also:great See also:assembly of German divines at See also:Leipzig, and acted as recording secretary. After teaching for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng.

time in Wittenberg, he went to See also:Frankfort in 1525 to establish the re-formed mode of See also:worship. He had resided there only a See also:month when he was called to Eisleben, where he remained till 1526 as teacher in the school of St See also:Andrew, and preacher in the See also:Nicolai See also:- CHURCH

church. In 1536 he was recalled to See also:teach in Wittenberg, and was welcomed by Luther. Almost immediately, however, a controversy, which had been begun ten years before and been temporarily silenced, See also:broke out more violently than ever: Agricola was the first to teach the views which Luther was the first to stigmatize by the now well-known name Antinomian (q.v.), maintaining that while the unregenerate were still under the See also:Mosaic See also:law, Christians were entirely See also:free from it, being under the See also:gospel alone. In consequence of the See also:bitter controversy with Luther that resulted, Agricola in 1540 See also:left Wittenberg secretly for See also:Berlin, where he published a See also:letter addressed to the elector of See also:Saxony, which was generally interpreted as a recantation of his See also:obnoxious views. Luther, however, seems not to have so accepted it, and Agricola remained at Berlin. The elector See also:Joachim II. of See also:Brandenburg, having taken him into his favour, appointed him See also:court preacher and See also:general See also:superintendent. He held both offices until his See also:death in 1566, and his career in Brandenburg was one of great activity and See also:influence. Along with See also:Julius von Pflug, See also:bishop of See also:Naumburg-See also:Zeitz, and See also:Michael Helding, titular bishop of See also:Sidon, he prepared the See also:Augsburg See also:Interim of 1548. He endeavoured in vain to appease the Adiaphoristic controversy (see See also:ADIAPHORISTS). He died during an epidemic of See also:plague on the 22nd of See also:September 1566. Agricola wrote a number of theological See also:works which are now of little See also:interest. He was the first to make a collection of German See also:proverbs which he illustrated with a commentary. The most See also:complete edition, which contains seven See also:hundred and fifty See also:pro-
verbs, is that published at Wittenberg in 1592; a See also:modern one is that of Latendorf, 1862.
