Leonhard Hutter
*** Shopping-Tip: Leonhard Hutter
'''Leonhard Hutter''' (January,
1563 -
October 23,
1616), was a
Germany German Lutheran theology theologian.
He was born at
Nellingen near
Ulm. From
1581 he studied at the universities of
university of Strasbourg Strasbourg,
university of Leipzig Leipzig,
university of Heidelberg Heidelberg and
university of Jena Jena. In
1594 he began to give theological lectures at
Jena, and in 1596 accepted a call as professor of
theology at
university of Wittenberg Wittenberg, where he died twenty years later.
Hutter was a stern champion of Lutheran orthodoxy, as set down in the confessions and embodied in his own ''Compendium locorum theologicorum'' (1610; reprinted 1863), being so faithful to his master as to win the title of "Luther redonatus."
In reply to
Rudolf Hospinian's ''Concordia discors'' (1607), he wrote a work, rich in historical material but one-sided in its argument, ''Concordia concors'' (1614), defending the
formula of Concord, which he regarded as inspired. His ''Irenicum vere christianum'' is directed against
David Pareus (1548-1622), professor primarius at Heidelberg, who in ''Irenicum sive de unione et synodo Evangelicorum'' (1614) had pleaded for a reconciliation of
Lutheranism and
Calvinism; his ''Calvinista aulopoliticus'' (1610) was written against the "damnable Calvinism" which was becoming prevalent in
Holstein and
Brandenburg. Another work, based on the formula of Concord, was entitled ''Loci communes theologici''.
