title: Johannes Bugenhagen: Selected Writings (Volume I and II)
author: Kurt K. Hendel
description: "It took a team to make the Wittenberg Reformation work. Alongside Luther and Melanchthon, Johannes Bugenhagen provided instruction for Wittenberg students, commentaries for pastors across Germany, and organizational aid to cities and principalities. Hendel harvests his own lifetime of engagement with the Pomeranian in a sprightly biographical sketch that presents the man in the various facets of his reforming activities. He adds translations of significant workspersonal, pastoral, exegetical, doctrinaland thus offers an introduction that will serve history buffs, university and seminary students, pastors, and historians. Helpful annotations guide readers into the historical setting effectively. A welcome addition to Reformation studies and texts!" --Robert Kolb, Concordia Seminary, Saint Louis<br /><br />"A longtime colleague of Martin Luther and Philip Melanchthon, the Wittenberg pastor and professor Johannes Bugenhagen brought unique insights and gifts to the Lutheran Reformation. Through this readable translation of many primary sources, Kurt Hendel skillfully introduces much of Bugenhagen's life, theology, and writings to the English-speaking public. Readers will enjoy getting to know this important reformer of the church in his ownstill very resonantvoice." --Martin Lohrmann, Wartburg Theological Seminary<br /><br />"Professor Hendel's thoughtfully crafted milestone volumes make Johannes Bugenhagen's representative works finally available for the international reader in English: theological treatments on justification, faith, and sacraments, paired with exegetical explorations, are complemented with pastorally and politically focused publications, sermons, letters, and, of course, the groundbreaking Braunschweig Church Order that reveals Dr. Pommer's organizational genius. With his expertise and judicious selections, Hendel demonstrates his long-term friend's multifaceted immersion in the sixteenth-century reforms and offers new important tracks for research." --Kirsi I. Stjerna, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg
