The Second Martin: The Life and Theology of Martin Chemnitz

Martin Chemnitz - the Second Martin of the Lutheran Reformation - stands with Luther and Melanchthon as an author of the Lutheran confessions and father of Lutheran theology. He was the chief author of the Formula of Concord, the most consulted theologian of the late Reformation, and a voice to unite the factionalized Lutherans of Germany. He has been called, after Martin Luther, the most important theologian in the history of Lutheranism.

'The Second Martin' is the first full-length biography and analysis of Martin Chemnitz to appear in English.
