Johann Heinrich Heidegger (1633–1698) was a Swiss Reformed theologian from Zürich. He is best known for his contributions to Reformed orthodoxy and biblical exegesis. His writings often combined historical, philological, and theological analysis, aiming to defend Protestant interpretations of Scripture. Works like Heidegger’s were part of the scholarly tradition of biblical chronology and exegesis in the 17th century. They aimed to reconcile biblical accounts with historical and theological frameworks, often engaging with Jewish and Christian traditions. The Amsterdam printing house of Abraham a Someren was known for publishing theological and scholarly works in Latin during this period. Joh. Henrici Heideggeri - Sive de Historia Sacra Patriarcharum.
