Hide Profile

Johann Ernst Grabe was born in 1666, at Knigsberg in Prussia, and was brought up a Lutheran. In 1695 he decided to enter the Church of Rome, but was persuaded instead to turn to England and join the Church of England. From about 1696 till his death on 3 November 1711 he applied himself ardently to theological study, chiefly in Oxford: he received a D.D. degree on 27 April 1706, and was soon after offered the Margaret Professorship of Divinity. Further details are given in the Dictionary of National Biography .
