Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the hitherto neglected relationship between the English Reformation and the Lutheran scholar Philip Melanchthon (1497-1560). It looks at how Henry, following his break with Rome, flirted with Lutheranism as a doctrine to replace Catholicism, before the eventual collapse of the policy and its replacement with a more moderate reform programme under Cranmer. It then goes on to investigate how Melanchthon, as the leading proponent of Lutheranism influenced successive royal governments, both positively and negatively, as they struggled to impose their own brand of doctrinal conformity on the English church. By refracting the well known narrative of the English Reformation through the lens of Melanchthon, new light is shed on many events that have puzzled historians. The study provides fascinating new perspectives on such questions as why Henry suddenly abandoned his Lutheran policy, why Cromwell fell from power in 1540 and even insights into Elizabeth's personal beliefs. By tying events in England into the context of the wider European Reformation, through the work of Philip Melanchthon, this book offers fresh insights into the nature and development of early evangelical Protestantism.

Book Synopsis Melanchthon by : Clyde L. Manschreck
Download or read book Melanchthon written by Clyde L. Manschreck and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-01-08 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Instructions for the Visitors and the Enchiridion by : Phillip Melanchthon
Download or read book Instructions for the Visitors and the Enchiridion written by Phillip Melanchthon and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Volume III in the Complete Works of Philipp Melanchthon. This new American English translation of Luther's 1528 "Unterricht der Visitatoren, an die Pfarrherrn im Kurfürstenthum zu Sachsen" or "Instructions for the Visitors of Parish Pastors in Electoral Saxony", followed by his 1522 Enchiridion. Together these make up his core works on the subject of education, earning him the title given by Luther: "Germany's teacher". The original German texts follow the English translation for easy reference and this edition contains a new 2023 Afterword by the Translator. Melanchthon’s 1522 Enchiridion sought to teach theology in the family home as a replacement for the state-run religious institutions. Named after Augustine's Enchiridion, which in turn was named after Epictetus' Enchiridion, Melanchthon sought to provide an ethical foundation for Protestantism, which was in disarray. The rampant Antinomianism which rejected all “legalism” and stated there is no moral code to which Christians should adhere to caused a related problem for the reformation. Knowledge of the Ten Commandments and the Old Testament was key to fixing this problem to Melanchthon, so together with Luther they published extensive educational reforms and school material. The Elector of Saxony saw this sorry state of affairs in Protestant Germany in terms of education, and asked Luther to fix it. Melanchthon took lead, and issued this 1527 Instructions for the Visitors of Parish Pastors in Electoral Saxony, and visited the local churches. A great deal of Melanchthon’s work was in the field of education, leading to his title of "Germany's teacher".

Book Synopsis How Melanchthon Helped Luther Discover the Gospel by : Lowell C Green
Download or read book How Melanchthon Helped Luther Discover the Gospel written by Lowell C Green and published by New Reformation Publications. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not claiming Melanchthon rediscovered the gospel. That honor belongs to his friend and mentor, Martin Luther. Nevertheless, Dr. Lowell C. Green argues that Melanchthon helped Luther in the task. Dr. Green knew that in choosing the title, How Melanchthon Helped Luther Discover the Gospel, he risked arousing the prejudice of those who look on Melanchthon with suspicion. Green is not blind to Melanchthon's faults; at times, he is critical of him. But, he debunks the myth that when Melanchthon came to Wittenberg in 1518, Luther had already developed his Reformational doctrine. Green shows that Melanchthon brought the tools of humanism to the aid of the emerging agitation. Although maintaining a subordinate role to Luther, Melanchthon helped him repeatedly at the turning points of the Reformation. Green asserts that Melanchthon was the first to speak of the authority of the Bible over the church. In his Baccalaureate Theses of 1519, Melanchthon became the first to articulate the forensic nature of justification. Most surprisingly, Melanchthon helped Luther move from the medieval view of faith as credulitas or adhaesio (adherence) to the Reformational view of faith as fiducia (trust) and assurance of salvation. Luther testified that he learned this from Melanchthon in 1518. As late as 1519, Luther had not yet abandoned the medieval view of grace as an infused substance. Melanchthon again led the way in 1520 when he declared that grace was simply the attitude of God-His favor. In his 1521 Loci Communes Melanchthon not only pointed out that grace is not something in us, but he made the important distinction between "grace" and "the gift of grace" (the Holy Spirit). Luther generously acknowledged the brilliance of Melanchthon's Loci Communes. This and other accolades Luther showered on Melanchthon are an indication of young scholar's influence on the great reformer's central teachings. Lowell C. Green was one of America's foremost Luther scholars, and his body of work continues to inform and shape Reformation studies today. This edition of How Melanchthon Helped Luther Discover the Gospel is the fruition of more than twenty-five years of Luther studies. Dr. Green's central thrust was to challenge the "Young Luther" cult which originated in the early 1900s and gained such a stranglehold on Luther studies in the 1950s and 1960s. In this volume, Green marshals the evidence gathered over a lifetime of study, joining his voice to a choir of scholars who challenge the central thesis of the "Young Luther" movement. After thoroughly demonstrating that Luther's early works contained a medieval or Roman Catholic "analytical justification," Green traces the emergence of the Reformational doctrine and a real break with medieval theology beginning in 1519. Green amply demonstrates that the mature Luther subscribed to and frequently expressed the doctrine of justification in forensic terms so that the glory of our salvation could be ascribed wholly to Christ and for the comfort of conscience against the accusing power of the law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Reformation" (1500—1650) provides an overview of the European world from the late-15th to the mid-17th century. From Columbus's discovery of the New World to the grisly beheading of England's Charles I, the Reformation was a period of restless exploration, and often bloody, religious and political protest.

Challenging map exercises and provocative review questions encourage meaningful reflection and historical analysis. Tests and answer keys included.
Book Synopsis Letters of Melanchthon by : Phillip Melanchthon
Download or read book Letters of Melanchthon written by Phillip Melanchthon and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition contains the bulk of Melanchthon's letters to a range of intellectuals of his day, and is a fascinating window into the heart of the Protestant Reformation. This new translation into modern American English is followed by the original letters in German. This is Volume I in the Complete Works of Philipp Melanchthon, and contains a new 2023 Afterword by the Translator. This collection of letters covers a broad range of theological topics, including his participation in the 1546 Schmalkaldischer Krieg (Schmalkaldic War). They provide a fascinating look into the key figure building the theology of the Protestant Reformations. Most of Melanchthon’s letters were to and from Luther, in addition to a wide range of scholars including Erasmus. Luther first corresponded with Melanchthon in 1518, and this collection begins with that initial letter. From that moment to Luther's death, the two enjoyed a close relationship. Melanchthon moved from Tubingen to the University of Wittenberg later that year, as filled the position of the Chair of Ancient Greek at the age of 21. Here Melanchthon met Luther for the first time, and to Luther's surprise, he earned his keep as an astute professor.

Book Synopsis A Reformation Life by : David M. Whitford
Download or read book A Reformation Life written by David M. Whitford and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-08-28 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title presents the European Reformation as seen through the life of an important but little-known participant—Philipp of Hesse, a nobleman who became a Reformation leader in Germany. The Reformation was the most cataclysmic event in Western Christianity. An ideal resource for undergraduate history students and general readers, this title provides an accessible human narrative through the complex events of the period that many find bewildering. History comes alive and events unfold through the eyes of Philipp of Hesse, a German nobleman who ascended to becoming a key Reformation leader. The book begins with a detailed survey of the Holy Roman Empire at the turn of the 16th century and provides chronological coverage of Philipp's life and role in the Reformation through to after his death in 1567, after which Calvinism rose within the empire. The chapters document how Philipp of Hesse knew every major figure of the German Reformation; participated in every major Reformation-era imperial diet; was present at every important event in the Lutheran-dominated, foundational period of 1521 to 1555; and became a leading Lutheran prince in the Holy Roman Empire. Additionally, the work thoroughly documents the connections between religion, politics, and society and explains the important role of the German nobility in the development of the Reformation.
