Philipp Melanchthon und seine Zeit

BuchGebunden
Deutsch
Vandenhoeck & Ruprechterschienen am15.09.20102. Aufl.
2010 marks the 450th anniversary of the death of Philipp Melanchthon. Melanchthon was one of the first and foremost reformists. Unlike Luther, Zwingli and Calvin he lived through and was involved in the entire Reformation period, from the beginnings in 1517 with Luther's 95 theses to the end with the Peace of Augsburg in 1555. He also wrote the first textbook of Protestant theology, the most important of all Protestant confessions of faith, the Augsburg Confession, playing a major role in the subsequent development of Protestant schools and universities. He was an irenic, a believer in ecumenism and devoted to prayer.In this volume Martin H. Jung acquaints us with the heretofore wrongly relatively unfamiliar reformer. The author provides a fascinating and lively look at the life of Melanchthon, the events of his time and the role he played in them. This is more than just a biography: The entire history of the Protestant Reformation is laid out against the background of his life, with particular emphasis on the role Luther, Zwingli and Calvin played. Besides well-known themes such as humanism and the first textbook of Protestant theology penned by Melanchthon, the volume touches on less well-known and surprising new insights into Melanchthon's relationship with the Jews and Moslems. Further, new light is shed on Melanchthon's wife, Katharina Krapp.In addition, the author draws the line from the past to the present. 2010 is an anniversary year for Melanchthon, and 2017 marks the 500th anniversary of the Reformation itself. This volume is an excellent way to prepare for that event.mehr

Inhalt/Kritik

Prolog
Wenigen ist bekannt, dass Melanchthon entscheidende Fäden im Hintergrund der Reformation gezogen hat. Anders als Luther, Zwingli und Calvin hat er die ganze Reformationsgeschichte miterlebt und -gestaltet, von den Anfängen mit Luthers Thesen 1517 bis zum Ende mit dem Augsburger Religionsfrieden 1555. Melanchthon schrieb das erste Lehrbuch für evangelische Theologie, er verfasste das wichtigste evangelische Glaubensbekenntnis und gestaltete das evangelische Schul- und Universitätswesen. Martin H. Jung macht in seiner spannenden Biografie mit dem vergleichsweise unbekannten Melanchthon bekannt.mehr
Leseprobe
Although Philipp Melanchthon was a reformer of the first hour to most people he is an unfamiliar character. He wrote the first textbook on Protestant theology, he formulated the Augsburg Confession, one of the key Protestant confessional writings, and contributed significantly to developing the Protestant educational system. This book is a biographical sketch of this intriguing personality and his time.>mehr
