A Theologian Without A Church Home?,
By rodboomboom (Dearborn, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Melanchthon in Europe: His Work and Influence beyond Wittenberg (Texts and Studies in Reformation and Post-Reformation Thought) (Paperback)
Melanchthon was predicted by Luther to drift moderate so he knew that Lutherans would not follow Philip which happened. The Reformed liked him for some of his teachings but not others. So, no confessional body truly reveres and follows all of Philip.
Thus, this fine contribution of essays on the topic primarily by Reformed with a few Lutheran views thrown in. There is fine essay on Melanchthon's influence on Calvin by Richard Mueller as well as an excellent contribution by John Schneider on his rhetoric. As was quoted in the book: how could such a peacable man of his age become in historical reflection such a man of such embattlement? Moderate brings this with it. Middle might be the most dangerous place to be. |
