Christoph Strohm, Luther, Melanchthon, Bucer und die reformierte Reformation. Ausgewählte Studien.

The text focuses on a collection of 29 essays by Christoph Strohm, spanning 25 years, which challenge the historiographical distinction between Lutheran and Reformed Reformations by emphasizing the diversity within the Reformation primarily in the Holy Roman Empire during the early 16th century. The essays examine key figures such as Martin Luther, Philipp Melanchthon, John Calvin, and lesser-studied reformers like Martin Bucer, Heinrich Bullinger, and Johannes a Lasco, highlighting their theological and church-historical contributions. The volume concludes with an extensive essay on Ernst Troeltsch’s 1906 theses regarding Protestantism and the modern world. This work is intended for researchers interested in the multifaceted nature of the Reformation and its implications for understanding its historical and modern significance.
