Book Description
The project consists in tracing the legacy of the great late medieval theologian Jean Gerson (1363-1429) both in Protestant circles and among Catholic thinkers of the 16th century. A churchman, educator, poet, humanist, preacher and a first-class thinker, he has not received the attention he deserves. The dissertation hopes to achieve precisely this primary goal: to take Gerson's name out of shadow and bring him into spotlight, by showing his influence beyond 15th century, which hasn't been done before. Although the attitude towards Gerson's authority was largely conditioned by religious conflicts that had agitated Europe during the Reformation, and his posthumous presence depended above all on the polemical objectives and ideological positions of those who found in him a source of inspiration, the dissertation seeks to overcome religious and national divisions and partisan scholarship. The contents of the dissertation are organized chronologically, denominationally, as well as geographically. In order to provide the reader with historical background immediately preceding the Reformation, chronologically it begins after the closure of the Council of Constance. Denominationally, the study is divided, relatively equally, between Protestant and Catholic receptions. Aside from Gerson's legacy in England and Scotland, which constitutes a separate chapter, his reception in different regions is represented by geographical subdivisions within chapters. By presenting major features of his influence through the massive appropriation of his thought and work, the study reveals discernable tendencies in Gerson's reception relevant to humanism, systematic theology, devotional mysticism, pastoral care, jurisprudence and early modern historiography, while leaving conciliarist aspect aside.

Book Description
The development of Martin Luther's thought has commanded much scholarly attention because of the Reformation and its remarkable effects on the history of Christianity in the West. But much of that scholarship has been so enthralled by certain later debates that it has practically ignored and even distorted the context in and against which Luther's thought developed. In The Early Luther Berndt Hamm, armed with expertise both in late-medieval intellectual life and in Luther, presents new perspectives that leave old debates behind. A master Luther scholar, Hamm provides fresh insights into the development of Luther's theology from his entry into the monastery through his early lectures on the Bible to his writing of the 95 Theses in 1517 and The Freedom of a Christian in 1520. Rather than looking for a single breakthrough, Hamm carefully outlines a series of significant shifts in Luther's late-medieval theological worldview over the course of his early career. The result is a more accurate, nuanced portrait of Reformation giant Martin Luther.

Book Description
Sixteen church historians here examine Martin Luther in an uncommon waynot as Reformer or theologian but as pastor. Luther's work as parish pastor commanded much of his time and energy in Wittenberg. After first introducing the pastoral Luther, including his theology of the cross, these chapters discuss Luther's preaching and use of language (including humor), investigate his teaching ministry in depth, especially in light of the catechism, and explore his views on such things as the role of women, the Virgin Mary, and music. The book finally probes Luther's sentiments on monasticism and secular authority. Contributors: Charles P. Arand James M. Estes Eric W. Gritsch Robert Kolb Beth Kreitzer Robin A. Leaver Mickey L.

Book Description
This volume reveals the political, religious, theological, institutional, and mythical ideals that formed the self-identity of the Augustinian Order from Giles of Rome to the emergence of Martin Luther. Based on detailed philological analysis, this interdisciplinary study not only transforms the understanding of Augustine's heritage in the later Middle Ages, but also that of Luther's relationship to his Order. The work offers a new interpretative model of late medieval religious culture that sheds new light on the relationship between late medieval Passion devotion, the increasing demonization of the Jews, and the rise of catechetical literature. It is the first volume of a planned trilogy that seeks to return late medieval Augustinian theology to the historical context of Augustinian religion.
