Scholarship has tended to assume that Luther was uninterested in
the Greek and Latin classics, given his promotion of the German
vernacular and his polemic against the reliance upon Aristotle in
theology. But as Athens and Wittenberg demonstrates, Luther was
shaped by the classical education he had received and integrated it
into his writings. He could quote Epicurean poetry to non-Epicurean
ends; he could employ Aristotelian logic to prove the limits of
philosophy's role in theology. This volume explores how Luther and
early Protestantism, especially Lutheranism, continued to draw from
the classics in their quest to reform the church. In particular, it
examines how early Protestantism made use of the philosophy and
poetry from classical antiquity. Contributors include: Joseph Herl,
Jane Schatkin Hettrick, E.J. Hutchinson, Jack D. Kilcrease, E.
Christian Kopf, John G. Nordling, Piergiacomo Petrioli, Eric G.
Phillips, Richard J. Serina, Jr, R. Alden Smith, Carl P.E.
Springer, Manfred Svensson, William P. Weaver, and Daniel Zager.
