John Eck

John Eck (1486-1543), properly Maíer, was a German theologian, of Swabian birth, professor at Ingolstadt. He was a violent, blustering antagonist of Luther and Luther's doctrines. In his zeal, he went to Rome, and procured a papal bull against both. He undertook at the Augsburg Diet to controvert Luther's doctrine from the Fathers, but not from the Scriptures. He was present at the conferences of Worms and Regensburg.
