July / August 2005 • Volume 21 • Number 4 The Preceptor’s Teaching on Riches by Timothy J. Wengert Nearly five hundred years after he uttered them, the informal teachings of Philip Melanchthon on the Gospel readings regarding wealth are still relevant. Philip Melanchthon was not the first Renaissance educator to bear the name Praeceptor Germaniae , teacher of the Germans. However, for him the moniker stuck, and, at least in Germany, he is still often called just that. One of the venues in which he taught was rather different from the others. From the 1530s, early on Sunday morning or on the morning of a festival, Melanchthon began to gather at his house foreign students who couldn’t understand the German sermons, in order to lecture informally to them in Latin (although laced with German) on the appointed Gospel reading for the day. Soon, more than just foreign students were attending, and Melanchthon had to move the lectures to the University, where students often took notes on them. In the 1590s, long after Melanchthon’s death in 1560, some of these notes were published. These are the uncensored Melanchthon, filled with all kinds of charming tales, jokes, and lessons for the students, many of whom were barely teenagers. Here we discover Lutheran Christian education at its best: grounded in the regular reading of Scripture in the Christian assembly, down to earth, and matched to the needs and experience of the audience. Melanchthon truly shows himself here to be what they called him, the

Related Material Authors: Luther Zwingli Essays: Liberty and Religion The Idea of Liberty in the Reformation Electronic Texts (E-Texts to be added later) About the Author Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560) wrote the Confession of Augsburg (1530), one of the defining statements of the Lutheran faith. He was a classicist, reformer, theologian, educator, and close friend of Martin Luther. Melanchthon was also, for the most part, a strong defender of Luther's religious views. During Luther's captivity (1521), Melanchthon became the leader of the Reformation in Wittenberg and published Loci communes , the first comprehensive presentation of Protestant doctrine. Melanchthon later participated in the Diet of Augsburg (1529) and wrote the Augsburg Confession (1530), a forceful statement of the reform and evangelical ideals that has influenced all subsequent Protestant creeds. In response to criticism that the Confession included undesirable compromises, Melanchthon published the Apology for the Confession of Augsburg (1531), restating the original positions and denying any changes. Both works are important sources of Lutheran doctrine. Bibliography

Home Classics Contemporary Reading List ... Misc. by Philip Melanchthon The following theses have been extraced from Philip Melanchthons's Loci Communes Theologici (Common Places in Theology, or perhaps, Fundamental Docrinal Themes. This book was originally published very early in the Protestant Reformation (1521), and according to Martin Luther, "Next to Holy Scripture, there is no better book." In fact Melanchthon's Loci was so highly revered by Luther that some have used this to explain the fact that Luther himself never wrote a systematic theology of his own. Again, according to Luther, "You cannot find anywhere a book which treats the whole of theology so adequately as the Loci communes do...." Thus, if you want to understand the mind of Luther, from the perspective of systematic theology, Melanchthon's Loci is a good place to start. These theses on Law, Gospel and Faith begin at the conclusion of the chapter heading titled, "Love and Hope."

Ballor Calvin Theological Seminary Introduction Thus, Melanchthon is certainly a worthy object of historical study. The translator of his 1543 Loci Communes That the first codifier of Reformation-era Lutheranism has been overlooked is an error of historical myopia that needs correction. To examine this thesis, three major primary works will be considered: the Loci Communes of 1521, the Commentary on Romans of 1540, and the Loci Communes of 1543. Loci Communes Loci Communes is characterized particularly by its brevity, especially in comparison with later editions of the work. The relative alacrity with which Melanchthon was inclined to publish this first edition was certainly a contributing factor to its brevity. A year before the first edition of Loci Communes Loci Communes Melanchthon could not recall or suppress the unauthorized student publication, but he could issue a well-thought out and revised version in an attempt to displace it. Loci Just as the length of the Loci Loci In his brief discussion of the civil magistrate, it is important to note that Melanchthon makes use exclusively of Scripture as he appeals to authority. There are no explicit references to the Church Fathers, to tradition, or to other contemporaneous theological writings. Likewise, there are no appeals to non-Christian literary sources. This is striking, as will become especially clear when compared to the section on the civil magistrate in the 1543 edition of the

World Cultures II ~ Unit 5 Notes A 13 ~ Pedro Cabral - (1467-1520) Cabral was a Portuguese nobleman, explorer, and navigator who was the first European to see Brazil on April 22, 1500. He sighted land, claiming it for Portugal and naming it "Island of the True Cross". The colony served primarily to provide food to the mother country, and this explains why only Brazilians, of all the countries of South America primarily speak Portugese instead of Spanish. B2 ~ Giovanni Boccaccio was an Italian novelist born in Paris in 1313. He was one of the earliest humanists, and also a founder of the Renaissance. His most famous work was the Decameron . It is important that we learn about him today because he helped to start the Renaissance and became a model for the distinctively Italian writing style. C2 ~ Tamerlane - At a young age he had a lot of courage and great military talents which gave him many followers. In 1371 he became the Chagatai leader. In 1395 Tamerlane had succesfully defeated the Mongol Empire. After going through Afghanistan in 1398 he went to India, which he captured. He then went westward toward the Ottoman Turks. In 1400 Tamerlane seized Aleppo with the use of war elephants he had captured in India. Tamerlane moved on and captured Damascus and Baghdad. In 1402 he captured the Ottoman ruler Bajazet. After his death in 1405 his empire collapsed. B3 ~ Geoffrey Chaucer - (1343-1400) - Geoffrey, a famous English poet, was born in London, the son of a vintner, John Chaucer. At age fourteen he served as a page under Prince Lionel for many years. Later in his life he visited Italy on many diplomatic missions and held quite a few official positions including the clerk of the king's works. He died in 1400 and is buried at Westminster Abbey. His poetry was largely based on French models, and his most famous work being the

37. Protestantism theology was given a statement of faith when the Augsburg Confession wascomposed by Luther and fellow reformer Philip Melanchthon (14971560). http://philtar.ucsm.ac.uk/encyclopedia/christ/cep/protest.html

Back to Continental European Protestantism Protestantism Doctrines Protestantism is one of the three main branches of Christianity. Virtually all Protestant denominations share with the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches a belief in the basic doctrines of Christianity: the Trinity, the fall, the atonement, and the final judgement. Protestant theology is, however, distinctive in four ways: Firstly, Protestants believe that people are justified (or made righteous before God) through grace through faith, not on merit earned through good works. Secondly, the Bible is the sole source of authority on matters of doctrine. Thirdly, all Christians are priests. Unlike Roman Catholicism, in which the priest's role is as an intermediary between God and humanity, Protestantism ascribes no special status to the priesthood. All Christians can minister to each other as priests. Fourthly, Protestants only affirm those sacraments which have a biblical basis - baptism and the Lord's Supper. The belief that in the eucharist the bread and wine are converted into the body and blood of Christ is rejected. Protestants have tended to believe that Christ is spiritually present in the bread and wine, or else have viewed the eucharist simply as a commemorative meal. History The Protestant reformation of the 16th century emerged as a protest against certain doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Particularly offensive to the reformers were the doctrines and practices that suggested that people could be reconciled with God through their own actions or through the mediation of sacraments and priests. In 1517 Martin Luther (1483-1546) nailed to the door of Wittenberg church his "Ninety-five Theses", which condemned the practice of the sale of indulgences as a means to remit sins. What Luther particularly objected to was the way in which Pope Leo X was selling indulgences to raise money for the repair of St Peter's church in Rome.

Adiaphora (Lit. "matters of moral indifference") Beliefs or practices which the 16th century reformers regarded as being tolerable, in that they were not contrary to Scripture. Of course, various theologians had different conceptions of what was indifferent. The adiaphorist controversy broke out after the Leipzig Interim (1548) when Melanchthon and his followers had compromised with Roman Catholic civil authorities and declared confirmation, the Mass (without transubstantiation), extreme unction and veneration of the saints to be indifferent. The Melanchthonians were attacked by the Gnesio (i.e., genuine) Lutheran M. Flaccius who saw these concessions as destructive of Protestantism. The controversy continued until the adoption of the
