Philip Melanchthon (1497-1560), humanist and colleague of Martin Luther, is best known for his educational reforms, for which he earned the title Praeceptor Germaniae (the Teacher of Germany). His most influential form of philosophical writing was the academic oration, and this volume presents a large and wide-ranging selection of his orations and textbook prefaces, many of which are here translated into English for the first time. They address subjects as diverse as moral philosophy, astronomy and mathematics, and illuminate the relationship between Renaissance and Reformation thought.

Philip Melanchthon was one of the most creative and effective thinkers of the Reformation, commonly ranked second only to Luther and Calvin by most historians. His contribution, however, was lost sight of in the controversy which plagued Lutheranism after Luther's death. He has often been treated as a replica of Luther, or as a mouthpiece for him; he was neither. In this landmark biography, Manschreck has explored the reformer's true stature and has demonstrated the enduring qualities of his contribution. "To understand Melanchthon and to access his significance," wrote Manschreck, "one must recognize the two historical movements which combined in him and which have never been reconciled in Protestantism -- the Renaissance and the Reformation....He cannot be explained in terms of either, for he transcends both. This is his greatness. This is his tragedy." As Melanchthon was the official representative of Protestantism at almost every colloquy in Germany from 1529 to 1560, influencing the very foundations of theology for all major Protestant denominations, we are indebted to Manschreck's effort to restore this reformer to his proper place in the historical record.

Neuware - Philipp Melanchthon war der wichtigste Weggefährte Luthers - und viel mehr als das. Der leise und stotternd sprechende kleine Griechisch-Professor war der eigentliche Kommunikator der Reformation: Er führte politische und theologische Verhandlungen, reiste unentwegt, schrieb unzählige Briefe und machte die Reformation zu einer Bildungsbewegung. Heinz Scheible hat seine viel gerühmte Biographie des großen Humanisten für diese Neuausgabe umfassend bearbeitet und erweitert. Als Melanchthon 1518 mit 21 Jahren von Tübingen nach Wittenberg wechselte, war der 14 Jahre ältere Luther von dem 'wunderbaren Menschen, an dem fast alles übermenschlich ist' begeistert. Schnell entwickelte sich eine enge Freundschaft zwischen dem feinsinnigen Humanisten und dem polternden Theologen, die in zahlreichen Doppelbildnissen verewigt wurde. Darüber konnte jedoch Melanchthons eigenständiges Wirken als Reformator leicht übersehen werden. Heinz Scheible zeichnet auf der Grundlage einer einzigartigen Quellenkenntnis Melanchthons Leben nach, erklärt seine Bedeutung als Bildungsreformer, Philosoph, Theologe und politischer Unterhändler und geht dem wechselvollen Verhältnis zu Luther nach. Ob sich die Reformation ohne Melanchthon durchgesetzt hätte, ist ungewiss. Heinz Scheibles Standardwerk zeigt eindrucksvoll, was sie ihm verdankt.

Neuware - Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560) war Reformator, Humanist, Universalgelehrter und neulateinischer Dichter. In seinen ca. 600 zumeist kurzen lateinischen Gelegenheitsgedichten spiegelt sich seine überaus facettenreiche Persönlichkeit und sein umfangreiches Betätigungsfeld wider. Ganz selbstverständlich hat er die gelehrte humanistische Ausdrucksform auch für reformatorische Inhalte verwendet. Dieses Buch betrachtet Melanchthon als neulateinischen Dichter ausgehend von seinem poetischen Selbstverständnis und aufgrund seiner Dichtungspraxis im Kontext humanistischer, an der Antike geschulter Dichtungsvorstellungen. Es berücksichtigt dabei auch die humanistischen Kommunikations- und Funktionszusammenhänge der Gedichte des Wittenberger Humanisten. Zum ersten Mal liegt nun eine Untersuchung des gesamten poetischen Corpus nach gattungsspezifischen bzw. thematischen Kriterien vor. Sinnvoll wird diese durch Einzelanalysen ausgewählter Gedichte ergänzt, die kritisch ediert und übersetzt sind.

Tübingen, Gunter Narr 2008. 428 S., OPappband Mit kurzer Widmung des Autors. Sehr gutes Exemplar.

A translation of the valuable commentary on the Epistle of Paul to the Colossians by eminent 16th-century theologian Phlipp Melanchthon.

An anthology that includes writings by the magisterial reformers (Luther, Melanchthon, Calvin, etc.) along with lesser-known names (Frith, Capito, Vermigli, etc.) to provide a unique insight into Protestant spirituality as it developed from the earliest days of the Reformation.

Martin Luther invented the Reformation slogan sola fide—by faith alone—which Philip Melanchthon and John Calvin brandished and defended. Most Protestants since their time have swallowed it whole. But is evangelical obedience—the good works that follow faith and are produced by grace—excluded from the basis for justification or otherwise? Asserting "There is no more serious question bearing upon the destiny of human beings than how sinners can be justified before a Holy God", Paul Rainbow examines current and traditional treatments of faith, works and justification, marshals a biblical case majoring on the New Testament teaching of Paul and James and offers a series of systematic, historical and pastoral reflections.

Martin Chemnitz - the Second Martin of the Lutheran Reformation - stands with Luther and Melanchthon as an author of the Lutheran confessions and father of Lutheran theology. He was the chief author of the Formula of Concord, the most consulted theologian of the late Reformation, and a voice to unite the factionalized Lutherans of Germany. He has been called, after Martin Luther, the most important theologian in the history of Lutheranism. 'The Second Martin' is the first full-length biography and analysis of Martin Chemnitz to appear in English.

This is an exhaustive, scholarly study of the age of Lutheran orthodoxy, the period from 1577 to 1713, in which Lutheran doctrine was developed, systematized, and defended by theologians such as Melanchthon, Chemnitz, Gerhard, Calov, Quenstedt, and other. In the first section, the author analyzes the rise and decline of Lutheran orthodoxy, indicating the main contributions of the major theologians. In the second section, the author analyzes the orthodox Lutheran approaches to the theological prolegomena--the methodology of theology, the relationships between natural and revealed religion, the nature of theology, and the training and posture of the theologian. The third section gives a thorough discussion of the orthodox theologians' approach to Scripture--its inspiration, authority, interpretation, reliability, and efficacy. Volume 1 of 2.

Albert Schweitzer has called Johann Arndt the "the prophet of interior Protestantism." This great German Lutheran mystic and follower of Melanchthon aroused Calvinist hostility by his spirituality of Christ in the heart of man. He was deposed as pastor of Bedeborn for refusing to abide by the orders of his Calvinist duke. Inspired by Bernard of Clairvaux, Angela of Foligno, John Tauler and Thomas a Kempis, he later came to be venerated by the Pietists. True Christianity is his principal mystical work and one of the most important in the Protestant tradition. He published the first book of this work, which is presented here, in 1605. He added three other books at a later date and two more were appended posthumously. Books two to six are represented in this volume by selected excerpts. Peter Erb, Professor of English and Religion and Culture at Wilfred Laurier University, Canada, has translated and introduced the text. The volume includes a preface by Heiko Oberman, the eminent authority on Lutheran spirituality who is Director of the Institute for Medieval and Reformation History at the University of Tübingen, West Germany.
