Johann Agricola

Johann Agricola , c.1494-1566, German Protestant minister, whose family name was Schnitter (originally Schneider). He was born at Eisleben and is sometimes called Magister Islebius. He had an early association with Martin Luther and was active in the founding of Protestantism. In 1536 he espoused antinomianism, thus breaking with Luther. He was court preacher to Joachim II, elector of Brandenburg and helped draw up the Augsburg Interim. Agricola also made a collection of German proverbs.

Agricola, Johann (c.1494–1566), German Protestant. He was a pupil and follower of M. Luther, but his antinomian views brought him into conflict first with P. Melanchthon and then with Luther. In 1540 he moved to Berlin, where he published a recantation which ended the conflict, at least officially. Johann II, Elector of Brandenburg, appointed him General-Superintendent; he was associated with the preparation of the Augsburg Interim of 1548 and supported the traditional Lutherans against the Adiaphorists.
