PESCATORE, JOHANN (PESCH, CHRISTIAN). — Born at Strasburg in 1546, he was educated in the Lutheran faith, but the influence of Calvinism led him to abandon Strasburg and later Heidelberg, which had not yet adopted Calvinism. He subsequently became director of a school in Siegen, professor of theology at the Casimirianum in Neustadt in the Palatinate, and from 1584 professor and rector at the Academy of Herborn, recently founded by the Count of Nassau. He produced a new German translation of the Bible with Calvinist tendencies (1597–1603), commented on all the sacred books, and engaged in polemics with Lutherans and Catholics. Against Cardinal R. Bellarmine he wrote: *Libri duo de iustificatione hominis coram Deo* (Herborn 1590). His *Aphorismi doctrinae christianae* (1589) is a widely read theological manual that was reprinted many times. In the Protestant milieu, his theological thesis that only the passive obedience of Christ, and not the active, would have satisfactory efficacy, provoked particularly lively reactions.
