** Johannes Petrus Hasebroek (Leiden, November 6, 1812 – Amsterdam, March 29, 1896) was a Dutch writer, poet and preacher. He was also known by the pseudonym Jonathan.
Hasebroek was a typical 19th-century writer, who published books as well as preached, just like his two friends Nicolaas Beets and Jan Jakob Lodewijk ten Kate. With a few others they were called the pastor-poets, against whose moralistic poems the Tachtigers protested.
He was born in Leiden as one of nine children of pharmacist Johannes Hasebroek (1778 - 1857) and Maria Theresia Kleyn (1788? - 1865). The writer Elisabeth Hasebroek was his eldest sister. He attended the Stedelijk Gymnasium in Leiden and studied theology at the State University. In October 1836 he became a minister in the 'white church' in Heiloo, in 1843 in Breda, in 1852 in Middelburg and finally on November 12, 1851 in Amsterdam. In 1883 he became emeritus. 67552579
