About this listen

 Regimen Books Christian Classics publishes books of superior quality, with particular attention to textual editing and book design. Its edition of The Life of Philip Melanchthon, as with most of its other books, includes a critical introduction and annotated notes. Karl Friedrich Ledderhose wrote the book in German. This Regimen Books edition is based on a translation into English made in the 1850s. This edition has updated a variety of language usages — particularly spelling and punctuation — to conform to modern practices and to make the book more accessible to modern readers.

Historians of the church and of medieval Europe consider Philip Melanchthon a figure of immense importance. In The Life of Philip Melanchthon, biographer Karl Friedrick Ledderhose provides a treasury of details.

Melanchthon was one of the most significant figures of his time. He was of critical importance in the Protestant Reformation and in the course of Christianity and Western Civilization. He was Protestantism’s first systematic theologian, and it was he who wrote the Augsburg Confession, the document that enunciated Lutheran doctrines and that became the foundational statement of Protestantism. Martin Luther so admired his young protegé that he believed that Melanchthon might be the one, rather than Luther, to carry the torch of the Reformation.
