Johann Nepomnk Huber, a German theologian, born in Munich, Aug. 18, 1830. He graduated at the university of Munich in 1854, and became professor in 1859. His Philosophie der Kirchenvater (Munich, 1859) was in 1860 placed on the prohibitory index, and an effort was made to prevent students from attending his lectures. His rupture with the ultramon-tanes became still wider in 1863, when in an assembly of Roman Catholic scholars he stood alone in asserting the right of free investigation in theology. In 1871 he became the foremost adversary of the society of Jesus, and one of the principal leaders of the Old Catholic movement in Bavaria, in opposition to the papal decree of infallibility. His works include Johann Scotus Frigena (Munich, 1859); Idee der Un-sterblichlceit (1861); Die Proletarier (1864); Professor Stockl in Munster, and Offener Brief an Professor Stockl, exposing the pantheism of Thomas Aquinas (1864); Studien (1867); Freiheiten der franzosischen Kirche (1870); Das Papstthum und der Staat (1870); Die Lehre Darwins kritisch betrachtet (1870); and Kleine Schriften (1871).
