Wucherer, Johann Friedrich

Wucherer, Johann Friedrich a Lutheran theologian of Germany, was born March 8, 1803, at Nordlingen. He studied at Erlangen, and, after completing his course, acted for some time as assistant minister in his native place. In 1832 he was appointed hospital preacher of Nordlingen, and pastor at Baldingen. In 1855 he was called to Aha, and died there, December 26, 1881. Wucherer was a faithful follower of his Master, and the many difficulties which he had to overcome in the early period of his ministry proved to be a blessing not only to him but also to his flock. He wrote, Vom evangelisch- lutherischen Hauptgottesdienst (Nordlingen, 1846): — Zu einem Zeugniss (ibid. eod.): — Populare Einleitung in die Schriften des Neuen Testaments (ibid. 184850, 2 parts): — Ausfuhrlicher Nachweis aus Schrift und Symbolen, etc. (ibid. 1853).
