|
Sites listed in this category are those which deal with the Lutheran Reformation in general, i.e.- overviews, surveys and timelines. Sites that deal with specific reformers (Luther, Melanchton, etc.) or aspects of Luther's writings or his hymns should be submitted to the appropriate subcategories of this category. |
This category is devoted to Martin Luther and his followers who protested against the Roman Catholic Church. His intent was to reform the Catholic Church internally but his actions and teachings, such as those about justification by faith, led to a separation from the Catholic Church and the formation of the Protestant movement.
| Please submit sites dealing with Luther as composer, musician, or champion of church music. Biographical information should be submitted to the general Luther Category under Reformation history or to the appropriate category in Lutheran Theology. |
Martin Luther started the Reformation. This category is for sites about him.
Philipp Melanchthon [Melancthon] (1497-1560) humanist scholar, university professor, and Reformation theologian, was called the "Teacher of Germany" because of his efforts to improve educational standards. A tireless writer, a few of his more famous works include: Loci Communes Theologici (first issued in 1521 but often revised as his thinking matured), the Augsburg Confession (1530), and Commentary on Romans (1540).
