Daniel Gerdes
Daniel Gerdes (Latin: Gerdesius) (19 April 1698, Bremen – 11 February 1765) was a German Calvinist theologian and historian. He became professor at the University of Duisburg in 1726,[1] and at the University of Groningen in 1736.[2]

While broadly supporting Protestant freedom of conscience, Gerdes drew a line in his attacks on the Mennonite minister . In that case Gerdes used the views of Samuel Werenfels, tolerant and well thought of by Benjamin Hoadley, to condemn Stinstra.[3]
