Beschreibung
Working with a wide range of relevant sources the book
contributes to the discussion of Philipp Melanchthon’s
profile as an academic and political agent, as a theologian
and negotiator, particularly during the Diet of Augsburg
1530. The study provides a background for a historical
reading and interpretation of the Augsburg Confession.
“In addition to considerably enhancing our knowledge of
Melanchton’s work in a particularly decisive time of the
Reformation, Andersen has also chosen a topic of
undisputable systematic theological and ecumenical
relevance.” (Professor Knut Alfsvg, School of Mission
and Theology, Stavanger, Norway)
Ragnar Andersen is an Evangelical-Lutheran
pastor. He holds a Ph. D. degree from MF Norwegian School
of Theology, Oslo, 2011.
