Long overshadowed by Luther and Calvin, Philipp Melanchthon
(1497-1560) is one of the most important figures in the Protestant
Reformation and had profound effect on Western church history. This
book gives the most detailed English-language biographical
treatment of Melanchthon to date, moving from his historical
context and personal origins, through his childhood, education, and
early career at Wittenberg during the dramatic events at the dawn
of the Reformation (1497-1524). Establishing the deep geopolitical
and religious context of Melanchthon's early life, the volume then
follows Melanchthon to the great halls of humanist learning at
Heidelberg and Tubingen, where his studies and teaching career
began and his'faith was richly fostered. The pivotal moment comes
in his appointment to the chair of Greek in Wittenberg where
Melanchthon became a great ally and supporter of Martin Luther.
Melanchthon's role as key player in the advocacy for reform
expanded through his involvement in the Leipzig Disputation, his
visible representation of the evangelical cause in Wittenberg
during Luther's absence at Worms and the Wartburg, and his struggle
with the radical wing. The volume closes by looking ahead to
Melanchthon's contribution to the Augsburg Confession of 1530.
