Der Spate Bugenhagen (German, Hardcover)

English summary: Johannes Bugenhagen, also known as Pomeranus, counts as the third great Wittenberg reformer after Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon. While researchers have always focused on the friend, confidant and pastor of Luther, his later activities as a preacher, exegete, consultant and university teacher as well as his profound influence in the fields of ecclesiastical order and social welfare and his position in the Interim so far have met with far less interest. This collection of essays resulted from a conference on the occasion of the 450th anniversary of Bugenhagen's death and addresses the many facets of his work from a variety of perspectives, concentrating on the late period of this reformer. Particular emphasis is put upon Bugenhagen's relationship to his immediate municipal environment, reflected in the town of Wittenberg's everyday life and cultural history, and on the way he reconciled his commitment to justice and politics with his opinions as a theologian and organizer of practical theological and ecclesiastical matters. German description: Johannes Bugenhagen, genannt Pomeranus, gilt als der dritte grosse Wittenberger Reformator neben Martin Luther und Philipp Melanchthon. Wahrend die Forschung dem Freund, Vertrauten und Seelsorger Luthers vielfaltig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt hat, fanden sein spateres Wirken als Prediger, Exeget, Gutachter und Universitatslehrer sowie sein ueberregionaler Einfluss auf dem Gebiet von Kirchenordnung und Sozialfuersorge und seine Position in der Interimszeit bisher weniger Interesse. Der aus einer Tagung anlasslich des 450. Todestags Bugenhagens hervorgegangene Sammelband widmet sich diesen unterschiedlichen Facetten und vielfaltigen Perspektiven seines Wirkens mit Blick auf die spate Lebensphase des Reformators. Dabei wird die Alltags- und Kulturgeschichte Wittenbergs, wie sie sich aus Bugenhagens Verhaltnis zu seinem unmittelbaren stadtischen Umfeld erheben lasst, mit seinem Einsatz fuer Recht und Politik und mit seinen Standpunkten als Theologe und Organisator theologisch-kirchlicher Praxis zueinander in Beziehung gesetzt.
