About this title

Synopsis

The German reformer, Urbanus Rhegius (1489-1541), wrote this homiletical handbook in 1535 for young Protestant ministers in Germany. His theological guide to preaching on controversial topics of the Reformation exposes the challenge of presenting a balanced evangelical message and the distortions that attended the reception of that message. It also discloses the close relationship between theology and piety that lay at the heart of Reformation conflicts.
