English Wikipedia, viewed June 5th, 2024 (Jan Hessels, Jean Leonardi Hasselius or Jean Hessels, born in Hasselt, 1522, died November 7th, 1566, was a Flemish theologian and controversialist at the University of Louvain. He was a defender of Baianism. He had been teaching for eight years in Park Abbey, the Premonstratensian house near Louvain, when in 1560, he was appointed professor of theology at the university. Like Michael Baius, who was his senior colleague, Hessels preferred drawing his theology from the Church Fathers, especially from Augustine of Hippo, rather than from the Schoolmen. Not content, however, with a mere change of method they began to show their contempt for traditional opinions, and in a short time alarming rumours were in circulation both inside and outside the university that their teaching on Original Sin, Grace, and Free-will, was not in harmony with the doctrine of the Church. Rather than wasting his energy on dogmatic quarrels, Hessels, directed his efforts in polemical works against Protestantism.)
