Brenz als Kontroverstheologe

Matthias A. Deuschle examines the theology of the German reformer Johannes Brenz in the period after Luther's death. Focusing on The Apology of the Confessio Virtembergica, Brenz's most extensive dogmatic work, the monograph shows how his thought in those years was shaped by the conflict with Rome. The doctrines of scripture, justification and the church are central subjects as well as their role as fundamental principles of the Christian faith.
