394 Has Previously Worked for a Number of Years on the Edition Of 394 BOEKBEOORDELINGEN/REVIEWS has previously worked for a number of years on the edition of the Beza correspondence and is also well known for a number of highly informative biographical and bibliographical articles. His scrupulousness and wide knowl- edge of primary sources and secondary literature guarantee a solid and scholarly work of a high quality. Bodenmann has divided his work into six parts that can be used inde- pendently. In part one Bodenmann describes how he himself became inter- ested in Musculus. This part also introduces to the historical context of Musculus and to Bodenmann's methodology. The second part offers a crit- ical edition of the Vita Wofkangi Musculi, the biography written by Musculus's son Abraham and published in a first edition in 1595. The original Latin text is accompanied by a French translation. The third part of the book is called Musculiana in which Bodenmann deals with a number of subjects he encountered while editing the Vita. The paragraphs in this part deal with Musculus' family, his relations with contemporaries, the stations in his career (Strasbourg, Augsburg, Bern), and his view on the Lord's Supper. In this part Bodenmann offers also a description of the many publica- - - tions mainly biblical commentaries of Musculus. In the fourth part Bodenmann tries to give a more characterological picture of Musculus. Largely based on correspondence, Bodenmann tries to give an answer to the questions as to how Musculus did see himself and how others saw him. Part five is formed by the bibliography of the works Bodenmann used for his research and the final part consists of the indices, one of which is an extensive description of Musculus's correspondence. Bodenmann has confined himself to a historical study, which means that research into the theology of Musculus remains an open field. However, the theological research has found a great help and stimulus in Bodenmann's biography. His solid research has brought about that in this book some new documents are given, largely from Musculus's correspondence. And as to his biography, this work will for a long time remain the definite source for the study of Musculus and his context. Herman J. Selderhuis, Apeldoorn JOHANNESBRENZ, Godly Magistrates and Church Order. Johannes Brenz and the Establishment of the Lutheran Territorial Church in Germany 1524-1559, JAMESM. ESTES(ED. ANDTRANS.) [Renaissance and Reformation Texts in Translation 9]. Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies, Toronto 2001, viii + 219 pp. ISBN 0772720177. US$13/CDN$17.50. Godly Magistrates and Church Order is one of the latest offerings from the Renaissance and Reformation Texts in Translation series by the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies at the University of Toronto. This book is a collection of documents from the career of the Lutheran reformer 395 Johannes Brenz, edited and translated by James M. Estes. The selected texts trace the evolution of Brenz's thoughts concerning the duty of Christian rulers to maintain and defend the church. Together, they also provide an invaluable framework for studying the theoretical and practical develop- ment of the Lutheran territorial church in Germany. There are none more qualified than Estes to offer this examination of Johannes Brenz. Estes's Christian Magistrate and State Church: The Reforming Career gf johannes Brenz (Toronto, 1982) remains one of the most important contemporary works on the subject. Brenz was a chief proponent of Lutheran orthodoxy in South-western Germany and was a leading reformer in the free-imperial city of Schwäbisch Hall (1522-1548) and the Duchy of Wiirttemberg (1550-1570). In this new book Estes contends that Brenz was one of the most gifted Lutheran ecclesiastical organizers, rivaled only by Johannes Bugenhagen. Such a view is supported by Brenz's contributions to church organization and administration during his lifetime. Estes also maintains that it was not Brenz's message concerning the duty of Christian rulers to God and the church that was unique, but rather the frequency, clarity, and unmatched authority with which he preached this message. For these reasons the career of Brenz provides a suitable framework for study- ing the developing Lutheran territorial church. Estes has included twenty texts in this book that span Brenz's entire career. They are arranged chronologically, beginning with his sermons preached in Schwäbisch Hall in 1524/25 and ending with the 1559 Württem- berg order. The texts are drawn from a wide range of sources, including sermons, opinions, visitation articles, and church ordinances. Each has been translated from the Latin or German originals and includes an informative introduction and annotations to familiarize the reader with the historical context and provide biblical references. In most cases the entire document is not provided, but rather only the relevant excerpts that concern Christian magistrates and church administration. This allows the editor to maintain the narrow thematic focus while providing a greater selection of documents. Instructors and students alike will find the breadth of sources helpful in analysing the developing Lutheran territorial church, as well as understanding Brenz's own thoughts on the role and duties of Christian magistrates. The selected documents allow the reader to trace Brenz's ideas about Christian rulers and to understand how he put these into practice in his churches. His earlier writings, such as the 1524/25 sermons from Schwäbisch Hall, 1525 Advice and opinion to Elector Ludwig, and his 1529 memoranda on The Reason lAy a Christian Prince Should Cause Christian Worship to be Established in His Jurisdiction and Territory, reflect his attempts to define the duty of Christian magistrates to maintain and defend the church. As Brenz's career progressed, so too did his ideas about church administration. He urged the city council of Schwdbisch Hall to form an independent synodal court with the power to excommunicate in his 1527 Reformation of the Churches in .

Dialogue, and Concord: I83 Discord, Dialogue, and Concord The Lutheran Reformation's Formula of Concord Lewis W. Spitz The Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, observing the religious strife of the day, commented sardonically, "How absurd to try to m@e two men think alike on matters of religion, when I cannot make two timepieces agree!" Since his day the choris of religious belief and opinion has become increasingly cacaphonous, so that the celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of the Formu- la of Concord, a confession which restored a good measure of harmony to a strife-ridden segment of the church, is an event of deep significance. Commemorations of Protestant confessions have at times in the past been not merely devout, but also parti- san, sentimental, monumental, and even self-congratulatory or triumphalist, but ours must be done in a more reflective and analytical mood. The church of the Reformation, too, may bene- fit from reform and renewal. In the Ft-unkfurter gelehrten Anzeiger (1 772) Goethe mocked the iconoclastic zeal of the "en- lightened reformers" of his day, who were even urging the reform of Lutheranism. But, as Luther himself realized, such great things are not in the hands of man, but of God.

  • An Introduction to the Book of Concord
    21st Conference of the International Lutheran Council Berlin, Germany August 27 – September 2, 2005 Almighty God Has Allowed the Light of His Holy Gospel and His Word that Alone Grants Salvation to Appear An Introduction to the Book of Concord Robert Kolb Proclaiming God's Word and Confessing the Faith Sixteenth-century Lutherans believed that they lived in the shadow of the Last Judgment. Because of that they believed that "in the last days of this transitory world he Almighty God, out of immeasurable love, grace, and mercy for the human race, has allowed the light of his holy gospel and his Word that alone grants salvation to appear and shine forth purely, unalloyed and unadulterated out of the superstitious, papist darkness for the German nation . " (Preface of the Book of Concord, 15801). The editors of the Book of Concord reflected the widely held perception of their time that God had sent Martin Luther as his special prophet to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ before his return to judge the world. They also viewed the presentation of Luther's teaching to Emperor Charles V in the Augsburg Confession as a crucial act of God in spreading Luther's message throughout the world. Followers of Luther were convinced that God acts in a fallen world above all through his Word and that the power of the Gospel of Christ rescues sinners from death and restores them to their true humanity as children of God. What the church did with and through God's Word formed the central concern of human history, they believed.

  • Why Lutheran Christology Does Not Lead to Kenoticism Or Divine Passibility Stephen R
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by St Andrews Research Repository Asymmetrical Assumption: Why Lutheran christology does not lead to kenoticism or divine passibility Stephen R. Holmes University of St Andrews ’…the most relevant and beautiful problems in dogmatics begin at the very point where the fable of “unprofitable scholasticism” and the slogan about the “Greek thinking of the Fathers” persuade us we ought to stop.’1 Abstract: It has been commonplace for over a century to argue that the distinctively Lutheran form of the communicatio idiomatum leads naturally to kenotic christology, divine passibility, or both. This argument has been generally accepted as a historical claim; it has also been advanced repeatedly as a criticism of ‘classical theism’ in the literature, and it has featured significantly in almost all recent defences of divine passibility. I argue that it does not work: the Lutheran scholastics had ample resources drawn from nothing more than ecumenical Trinitarian and christological dogma to defend their denial of the genus tapeinoticum. I argue further that this defence, if right, undermines a remarkably wide series of proposals in contemporary systematic theology. Introduction For well over a century, theologians have been arguing that the distinctively Lutheran form of the communicatio idiomatum, which accepts the genus maiestaticum, leads naturally to kenotic christology, divine passibility, or both. Indeed, it is not hard to find suggestions that the move is so obvious that the interesting question is why the scholastic Lutheran theologians could not see it, a question generally answered by lamenting their captivity to alien hellenistic conceptions of deity (recently termed ‘classical theism’).

The Augsburg Confession was written in both German and Latin, and was presented by a number of German rulers and free-cities at the Diet of Augsburg on June 25, 1530. The Holy Roman Emperor Charles V had called on the Princes and Free Territories in Germany to explain their religious convictions in an attempt to restore religious and political unity in the Holy Roman Empire, and rally support against the Turkish invasion.

  • Rosicrucianism in the Early Modern Period in Denmark
    Early Modern Rosicrucianism in Denmark 431 Chapter 53 Early Modern Rosicrucianism in Denmark Rosicrucianism in the Early Modern Period in Denmark Jole Shackelford Rosicrucianism was an idealistic movement of the counter-Reformation pe riod that was officially proclaimed in 1614 by the anonymously published manifesto Fama fraternitatis Roseæ Crucis oder Die Bruderschaft des Ordens der Rosenkreuzer (Rumour of the Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross) in Kassel, Germany. This was soon followed by the anonymous Confessio oder Bekenntnis der Societät und Bruderschaft Rosenkreuz (The Confession of the Rosicrucian Society and Brotherhood) and Secretioris philosophiæ consideratio brevis (A Brief Consideration of a More Secret Philosophy) in 1615, and the alchemical- religious allegory Chymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosenkreutz (The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz) by Johan Valentin Andreæ in 1616. These tracts are thought to be the product of a collaboration among a loosely- affiliated group of students and religious thinkers in Tübingen and Marburg during the first fifteen years of the seventeenth century, which included Johan Valentin Andreæ. Although advertised as a brotherhood, there is no historical evidence to support the actual existence of a Rosicrucian organisation in the early seventeenth century, and historians regard it as an informal intellectual and spiritual movement with a coherent, but loosely defined ideological basis that was expressed through manuscript and printed letters, pamphlets, and treatises that circulated in northern Europe in the late sixteenth and early sev- enteenth centuries. Lutheran Concordists Oppose Continued Reformation The main thematic currents of the Rosicrucian ideology were grounded in the frustration felt by many Protestants who were disillusioned with the direction that the Reformation had taken after Martin Luther’s death.
