Aufsatze Zu Melanchthon Synopsis

English summary: This collection of essays focuses on Melanchthon's relationship to Luther. Contrary to the previous research, Heinz Scheible elaborates on the similarities between the two reformers and determines that the only theological difference between them was in the doctrine of the Eucharist, of which Melanchthon, with Luther's agreement, wrote a version which was an acceptable compromise, a version which is still valid today. The same is true of Melanchthon's ethics, which the author believes are of great value in the global dialog among the religions. Further subjects in the texts include the Upper Rhine humanists, the school and university reform with the integration of Aristotelism, the doctrine of justification, the Augsburg Interim and several of Melanchthon's personal and regional relationships as well as his influential critic Karl Holl.


German description: Melanchthons Verhaltnis zu Luther bildet den Schwerpunkt dieser Sammlung der an uberwiegend entlegenen Stellen gedruckten Aufsatze des Herausgebers von Melanchthons Briefwechsel . Im Gegensatz zur fruheren Forschung arbeitet Heinz Scheible die Gemeinsamkeiten der beiden Reformatoren heraus und findet die einzige theologische Differenz in der Abendmahlslehre, die Melanchthon mit Zustimmung Luthers in eine kompromissfahige Fassung brachte, die noch und wieder in der Gegenwart tragfahig ist. Dasselbe gilt fur Melanchthons Ethik, die der Autor im globalen Gesprach der Religionen fur fruchtbringend halt. Weitere Themen der fur einen breiteren Leserkreis geschriebenen Texte sind die oberrheinischen Humanisten, die Schul- und Universitatsreform mit der Integration des Aristotelismus, die Rechtfertigungslehre, das Augsburger Interim und mehrere personliche und regionale Beziehungen Melanchthons, schliesslich sein einflussreicher Kritiker Karl Holl.
