'''Georgius Calixtus''' or '''Calisen''' (born
December 14,
1586 in
Medelby,
Schleswig,
Germany; died
March 19,
1656 in
Helmstedt) was a
Lutheran theologian.
Beginning in 1609, he travelled for four years in Germany,
Belgium,
England, and
France. Learning different
protestant teachings, he tried to create an "unified theology". For this, he was accused of heresy, or rather apostasy, for the liberal spirit in which he had learned in consequence to treat both
Catholics and
Calvinists, and for considering the
Apostles' Creed a broad enough basis for Christian union and communion, which might embrace both; his friends, however, stood by him, and he retained the position he held in the Lutheran Church.
From 1614 until his death in 1656, he taught
theology at the
University of Helmstedt.
