Melanchthon not only formulated major texts such as the Augsburg Confession. He also tirelessly championed the cause of the Reformation with his smaller writings, thus cultivating relationships with family, princes, colleagues, students, and scholars in his network. Melanchthon’s numerous speeches, letters, announcements, dedicatory prefaces, poems, expert opinions, testimonies, and prayers illustrate how multifaceted and passionate he was in communicating philosophical and scientific topics as well as core Reformation concerns locally in Wittenberg, in the empire, and throughout Europe, and how strongly his thoughts and actions were imbued with faith and piety. This volume provides new insights into his wide-ranging everyday work and his convictions.
