This brief, insightful biography of Martin Luther strips away the myths surrounding the Reformer to offer a more nuanced account of his life and ministry. Coinciding with the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, this accessible yet robustly historical and theological work highlights the medieval background of Luther's life in contrast to contemporary legends. Internationally respected church historian Volker Leppin explores the Catholic roots of Lutheran thought and locates Luther's life in the unfolding history of 16th-century Europe. Foreword by Timothy J. Wengert.

Sola

Christ, Grace, Faith, and Scripture Alone in Martin Luther's Theology

By: Volker Leppin

Leppin explores the four "solas" of Reformation theology--Christ, grace, faith, and scripture--as both anchored in the culture of late-medieval devotion and representing new, firmly demarcated formulae. Luther's four pillars became clarion calls in the fight against the medieval church. Leppin helps readers understand, however, that in the journey toward these new theological understandings, continuity and discontinuity were inextricably linked. Luther built upon the foundations of his late-medieval world, even as he articulated the sola Christus, sola gratia, sola fide, and sola scriptura foundations that would change Christianity forever. Along the way, these principles functioned as integrative, continuous ideas and exclusive, demarcating ones at the same time. Luther's world was a new and fundamentally different theological realm, but Sola: Christ, Grace, Faith, and Scripture Alone in Martin Luther's Theology also shows us the ways Luther and his thought were products of the personalities and intellectual origins from which they came.

Justinian and the Making of the Syrian Orthodox Church

By: Volker L. Menze

The Council of Chalcedon in 451 divided eastern Christianity, with those who were later called Syrian Orthodox among the Christians in the near eastern provinces who refused to accept the decisions of the council. These non-Chalcedonians (still better known under the misleading term Monophysites) separated from the church of the empire after Justin I attempted to enforce Chalcedon in the East in 518. Volker L. Menze historicizes the formation of the Syrian Orthodox Church in the first half of the sixth century. This volume covers the period from the accession of Justin to the second Council of Constantinople in 553. Menze begins with an exploration of imperial and papal policy from a non-Chalcedonian, eastern perspective, then discusses monks, monasteries and the complex issues surrounding non-Chalcedonian church life and sacraments. The volume concludes with a close look at the working of "collective memory" among the non-Chalcedonians and the construction of a Syrian Orthodox identity. This study is a histoire évènementielle of actual religious practice, especially concerning the Eucharist and the diptychs, and of ecclesiastical and imperial policy which modifies the traditional view of how emperors (and in the case of Theodora: empresses) ruled the late Roman/early Byzantine empire. By combining this detailed analysis of secular and ecclesiastical politics with a study of long-term strategies of memorialization, the book also focuses on deep structures of collective memory on which the tradition of the present Syrian Orthodox Church is founded.

Reformation

By: Volker Leppin

Wie alle Bände der Reihe Kirchen- und Theologiegeschichte in Quellen bietet auch der neue Band zur Reformation knappe aussagekräftige Texte mit Erläuterungen zum Eigenstudium und zur Unterstützung von Vorlesungen und Seminaren. Der bewährte Band von Heiko Augustinus Oberman wurde nach einem Vierteljahrhundert auf dem Stand der neuesten Forschung grundlegend neu bearbeitet. Alle Übersetzungen wurden überprüft und gegebenenfalls korrigiert, die Einleitungen neu verfasst und die bibliographischen Angaben aktualisiert. Die Quellenauswahl wurde zugunsten einer stärkeren Berücksichtigung der sozialhistorischen Entwicklungen verändert und im Bereich des konfessionellen Zeitalters ausgebaut. Auch Perspektiven der Geschlechtergeschichte und die Frage des christlichen Umgangs mit den Juden finden Berücksichtigung. Chronologisch fängt die Sammlung im unmittelbaren Vorfeld der Reformation, beim Streit um Reuchlins Stellungnahme zum Umgang mit den jüdischen Schriften und den daran anschließenden Dunkelmännerbriefen an. Der wesentliche Schwerpunkt liegt nach wie vor bei der Durchsetzungsphase der Reformation, wobei die theologiegeschichtlich wichtigen Texte Luthers, Zwinglis, Melanchthons, Karlstadts, Müntzers und anderer durch Zeugnisse der städtischen Reformation ergänzt werden. - Der zweite Hauptteil repräsentiert die Phase des konfessionellen Zeitalters anhand von Luthertum, Calvinismus, Katholizismus und Anglikanismus. Texte von Johann Gerhard finden dabei ebenso Berücksichtigung wie von Ignatius Loyola oder Johannes Calvin. Ein letzter kurzer Abschnitt gibt Einblick in die Geschichte des Dreißigjährigen Krieges und die damit verbundene Verehrung Gustav Adolfs von Schweden sowie in die Formulierungen des Westfälischen Friedens. Wer sich in gut lesbarem Deutsch aus erster Hand einen Überblick über die kirchenhistorisch wichtigen Geschehnisse zwischen 1500 und 1648 verschaffen will, kann getrost zu diesem Buch greifen.

William of Ockham: Dialogus

Part 2; Part 3, Tract 1

By: John Scott

In his Dialogus William of Ockham (c. 1285 to 1347/8) turned from pure philosophy and theology to polemic, in the form of a dialogue between a student and a university master. In Parts 2 and 3, reproduced here, they debate the extent of the Pope's power within the church.
