Philip Melanchthon's "Loci Communes" established the standard for Lutheran dogmatics; beginning as a modest work published in 1521, the "Loci" went through several substantial revisions throughout Melanchthon's life, and served as the starting point for later dogmaticians, such as Martin Chemnitz and Johann Gerhard. As Luther's coadjutor in the work of the Reformation, Melanchthon authored three of the documents which comprise the Book of Concord: The Augsburg Confession (1530), the Defense of the Augsburg Confession (1531), and the Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope (1537). However, Melanchthon greatly-expanded second edition of the "Loci Communes"-the 1535 edition-has never before been published in English. Repristination Press is pleased to now publish Rev. Paul Rydecki's translation of this crucial work. The 1535 "Loci" offers a further treatment of the various theological articles under contention in the Lutheran Reformation. Having Melanchthon's extended insights on this topics allows students of theology to have a better grasp on the issues under contention in the Melanchthon's contributions to the Book of Concord.

In honor of the 450th anniversary of Philip Melanchthon's death in 1560, a second edition of his Loci Communes ("Commonplaces" or "Common Topics") has been issued. Originally published by CPH in English under the name Loci Theologici 1543, this book is actually Melanchthon's last Latin edition, published in 1559. Generations of Lutheran pastors learned theology from this book in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This revised English edition includes several new features: a new translation of Melanchthon's "Definitions of Terms That Have Been Used in the Church," a new historical introduction, cross-references to the original Latin, a Scripture index, and an index of persons. Melanchthon's Loci praecipui theologici is one of the several most significant and influential compendia of theology written during the Reformation. This translation, which presents the final stage of its textual development, had an enormous impact on developing Lutheran and Reformed theology, whether in its content or its method. The new edition of Preus's work with Mayes's introduction and translation of the appendix, "Definitions," is a welcome presence in Reformation studies. Richard A. Muller, P.J. Zondervan Professor of Historical Theology Calvin Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan The third and final "age" of Philip Melanchthon's Loci editions was not only longer but also more carefully worded and in some ways more overtly evangelical than the second "age" of 1535. Melanchthon was putting his best foot forward, yet he hardly backed down from flawed assertions such as the necessity of good works to retain faith. Here, this premise entered his treatment of the Law's first use. Students of the Lutheran confessional heritage cannot ignore this book! Ken Schurb, Pastor Zion Lutheran Church, Moberly, Missouri

A new translation of Philipp Melanchthon's Loci Communes into American English directly from the original Latin text. Bilingual edition with the original Latin manuscript in the back. This edition also contains a new 2023 Afterword by the Translator. Loci Communes is the first systematic formulation of Protestant theology and a foundational text of multiple denominations, particularly Lutheranism. This also deeply influenced the Reformed tradition as Melanchthon’s pupil Zacharias Ursinus was the main author of the Heidelberg Catechism. In Melanchthon's own words, it is about “the proper dogmas of the Church about God, about eternal things, about the Law of God, about Sin, about the Gospel, about Grace, Justice, and the Sacraments, and later also the doctrine about civil life.” This Systematic Theology was first published in 1521 in New Latin, which was proofread by Luther and published the same year. Luther never wrote a systematic theology because he considered the Loci Communes to be a sufficient summary of Evangelical doctrine. He wrote "next to Holy Scripture, there is no better book" and at one point he talked about adding it to his Biblical canon: "We possess no work wherein the whole body of theology, wherein religion, is more completely summed up, than in Melanchthon's Common-place Book; all the Fathers, all the compilers of sentences, put together, are not to be compared with this book. It is, after the Scriptures, the most perfect of works. Melancthon is a better logician than myself; he argues better. My superiority lies rather in a rhetorical way. If the printers would take my advice, they would print those of my books which set forth doctrine,—as my commentaries on Deuteronomy, on Galatians, and the sermons on the four books of St John. My other writings scarcely serve a better purpose than to mark the progress of the revelation of the gospel."

Is religion disappearing from American life? Less than 50 percent of Americans now hold membership in any religious institution, and even fewer attend worship services. The decline in Christian churches is especially pronounced among the young and cuts across all denominations. But for Methodists and like-minded Protestants, concerns are deeper than shrinking denominational membership. Polls show disconcerting ignorance about religious and spiritual matters even among churchgoers. Our values as a society are in large measure molded by religion. What shape will Protestant Christianity take in the twenty-first century? And of Methodism? And beyond that, what kind of community will we be? Dawsey proposes returning to the roots of Christianity. And with anecdotes and stories and a sweeping grasp of church history, he examines those essential practices and beliefs necessary to revitalize American churches. Key, he argues, is rediscovering Christianity as a philosophy of living. John Wesley characterized the practice of religion as first, doing no harm; second, doing good; and third, keeping the ordinances of faith. Loving God and God’s creation—the doing of Christianity—marks the path for becoming the churches and individuals Christians were called to be.

History of Christian Dogma is a translation of Ferdinand Christian Baur's Lehrbuch der christlichen Dogmengeschichte, second edition, 1858. The Lehrbuch, which Baur himself prepared, summarizes in 400 pages his lectures on the history of Christian dogma, published post-humously in four volumes. Baur, professor of theology at the University of Tübingen from 1826 to 1860, brilliantly applied Hegelian categories to his historical studies in New Testament, church history, and history of Christian dogma. According to Baur, "Dogma" is the rational articulation of the Christian "idea" or principle-the idea that God and humanity are united through Christ and reconciled in the faith of the spiritual community. Following an introduction on the concept and history of the history of dogma, the Lehrbuch treats three main periods: the dogma of the ancient church or the substantiality of dogma; the dogma of the Middle Ages or the dogma of inwardly reflected consciousness; and dogma in the modern era or dogma and free self-consciousness. The entire history is a progression in the self-articulation of dogma through conflict and resolution, moving gradually from objective to subjective forms and to the mediation of subject and object by the philosophers and theologians of the early nineteenth century. The detailed analyses provide a wealth of information on individual thinkers and doctrines that is still relevant today.

Ferdinand Christian Baur (1792-1860), one of the great innovators in the study of the New Testament, argued that each of its books reflects the interests and tendencies of its author in a particular religio-historical milieu. A critique of the writings must precede any judgments about the historical validity of individual stories about Jesus in the Gospels. Thus Baur could move beyond the impasse created by Strauss's Life of Jesus. Baur demonstrated that the Gospel of John is not a historical document comparable to the Synoptic Gospels and cannot be used to reconstruct the teaching of Jesus, and that the Synoptic Gospels must be read critically and selectively. He applied the same principles to the Epistles, arguing that only four are genuinely Pauline (Galatians, 1 and 2 Corinthians, and Romans). Baur's Lectures on New Testament Theology, delivered in Tübingen during the 1850s, summarize thirty years of his research. The lectures begin with an Introduction on the concept, history, and organization of New Testament theology. Part One is devoted to the teaching of Jesus, which Baur finds most reliably in Matthew. Part Two contains the teaching of the Apostles in three chronological periods. The first period presents the theological frameworks of the Apostle Paul and the Book of Revelation; the second period, the frameworks of Hebrews, the Deutero-Pauline Epistles, James and Peter, the Synoptic Gospels and Acts; and the third period, those of the Pastoral Epistles and the Gospel of John.
