Johannes Bogerman

Johannes Bogerman (1576–1637) was a Frisian Calvinist theologian, born at Upleward in East Frisia, the son of a preacher. From 1591 he studied at Franeker, Heidelberg, Geneva, Oxford and Cambridge, then held Reformed pastorates at Sneek, Enkhuizen and Leeuwarden, preaching against the Arminians.

He was appointed president of the Synod of Dort of 1618–1619, which issued the Canons of Dort and authorized a new Dutch Bible translated from the original languages. He later helped translate that Statenbijbel, took a theology chair at Franeker in 1636, and died there the following year.
