SynopsisThis volume examines the process by which the teaching and method of Luther and Melanchton was carried forward during the transition from Reformation to the settled forms of church life called Protestant Orthodoxy. It shows how Luther's and Melanchton's students strove to convey the insights of their mentors to their own age, within the academic and political context in which they lived; and how the method and teaching of the two Wittenberg reformers shaped the thought and ecclesiastical life of following generations., The transition from 'Reformation' to the settled forms of church life called 'Protestant Orthodoxy' (or the process of 'confessionalization' within Lutheran Germany) ranged the heirs of the reformers against each other in polemical struggles over the proper definition of the Wittenberg theology. Their efforts at defining Luther's significance and handing on his message to the common people also took form in their biblical interpretation, their preaching and their devotional literature. This volume reveals how Luther's and Melanchthon's students strove to convey the insights of their mentors to their own age, within the academic and political context in which they lived, and how both the teaching and the method of the two Wittenberg reformers shaped the thought and ecclesiastical life of the following generations.
