Philip Melanchthon (1497–1560)
View through CrossRef
Abstract
No other sixteenth-century interpreter of Scripture had a more wide-ranging influence than Philip Melanchthon (1497–1560). His books on Greek grammar, on rhetoric, and on dialectics set the stage for scholarly discussion of texts. His commentaries demonstrated how this method might be employed. His many works on Romans, Colossians, and Proverbs helped to focus scholarly discussion and debate for both friend and foe. His Loci communes and other summaries of doctrine helped define for Lutherans and others the very center of the Bible. He influenced an entire generation of exegetes who followed him in Wittenberg. Far from neglecting Scripture and its meaning, Melanchthon may be said to have championed a new approach to the text, using the very latest tools from the humanities and the very central categories of the Reformation.
