Continuing our celebration of the 507th Anniversary of the Reformation — today you’ll get a closer look at Martin Luther’s theologian and friend, Philip Melanchthon (Feb. 16, 1497 – April 19, 1560). 

He was often called “The Teacher of Germany” and stands alongside Luther as a pivotal figure in the Protestant Reformation.

While Luther’s fiery pronouncements ignited the movement, Melanchthon’s scholarly mind and gentle spirit provided crucial theological structure and educational foundation.

Melanchthon’s groundbreaking work, the Loci Communes (1521), translated as Common Theological Topics, laid out core Protestant beliefs in a clear and concise manner. This work became a foundational text for understanding Lutheran theology.
