{"product_id":"athens-and-wittenberg-james-a-kellerman-9789004206700","title":"Athens and Wittenberg: Poetry, Philosophy, and Luther's Legacy","description":"Scholarship has tended to assume that Luther was uninterested in the Greek and Latin classics, given his promotion of the German vernacular and his polemic against the reliance upon Aristotle in theology. But as \u003ci\u003eAthens and Wittenberg\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates, Luther was shaped by the classical education he had received and integrated it into his writings. He could quote Epicurean poetry to non-Epicurean ends; he could employ Aristotelian logic to prove the limits of philosophy's role in theology. This volume explores how Luther and early Protestantism, especially Lutheranism, continued to draw from the classics in their quest to reform the church. In particular, it examines how early Protestantism made use of the philosophy and poetry from classical antiquity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Contributors to this volume: Joseph Herl, Jane Schatkin Hettrick, E.J.
