Synopsis

Discover how Luther’s work in translation, hymns, and catechisms reshaped church life and education.

Public worship, language, and learning all moved under one reformer's hand. This book examines how Luther introduced the vernacular in services, shaped hymnody, and produced practical catechisms that guided generations, while also laying foundations for modern religious education.

• Explains Luther’s shift to German worship and his Lord’s Prayer, Creed, and sermon-centered service.
• Explores Luther’s own hymns and their role in uniting faith and everyday life.
• Survey of the catechisms that aimed to simplify theology for broad audiences.
• Traces the educational reforms tied to church visitation and outreach to schools.

Ideal for readers interested in the roots of Protestant worship, education, and the daily life of the Reformation era.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The last word on a live subject is never said. As an immense volume of work on Luther continues to pour from the press, I propose, in the immediately following pages, to give some account of the most important and pertinent literature produced since this biography first went to press. The most striking recent contribution to the subject, both on account of its size and of the altercation it has aroused, is the biography, in three volumes and 2500 lexicon-octavo pages, by Professor Hartmann Grisar, S.J. As his interest centers in the character of the Reformer and the moral effect of his work, the Catholic scholar, assuming the role of prosecuting attorney, labors, with much learning and a real intention of doing justice, to prove that both were bad. Whereas the specialist may learn much from Grisar, his whole point of view, as well as that taken by most of his Protestant critics, is foreign to the impartial investigator. More than a dozen volumes, many of them bringing fresh light, have been added to the Weimar edition of Luther sworks. Perhaps the most interesting are those devoted to the table-talk. Much new material, not inferior in value to that already known, has been discovered, and bears out the opinion of Froude that the table-talk is one of the most brilliant books in the world ... as full of matter as Shakespeare splays. In order to make these newly published conversations of Luther accessible to the English-speaking public, a translation of them is now being executed and may be expected shortly to appear. Three more volumes of the letters in the Enders-K awerau edition have come out. An English version of the correspondence, containing also letters by Luther scontemporaries on him and his movement, is now in course of publication.1 1L uther s Correspondence and Other Contemporary Letters, translated and edited by Preserved Smith, vol. i, 1507-1521,
