The Apocalypse in Reformation Nuremberg. Jews and Turks in Andreas Osiander's World.

This article focuses on a study of Andreas Osiander, a sixteenth-century Lutheran theologian influential in shaping reformed doctrine in Nuremberg and Ducal Prussia. The study uses Osiander's sermons and correspondence to explore Christian attitudes toward Jews and Muslims, the impact of the Turkish wars on Protestant thought, and early modern Christian Europe's apocalyptic worldview. It highlights Osiander's engagement with Hebrew and Jewish learning, his defense of Jews against blood libel accusations, and his role in Lutheran debates on identity and resistance to Emperor Charles V. The work offers valuable insights for historians of the sixteenth century and scholars of antisemitism, Christian supersessionism, and religious toleration, though its thematic structure may lead to some repetition and uneven focus.
