[Philip Melanchthon. Faith and Education]
In the history of Christian thought, Philipp Melanchthon (1497–1560) is of quite independent significance. Although he learned his theology from Martin Luther, he combined it with the second great current of thought of his time, Christian humanism, which was oriented on Greek-Roman antiquity. Faith and education were the two great life themes of the reformer and educational reformer Melanchthon. The three writings selected for the 'Great Texts of Christianity' illustrate Melanchthon's educational program (Wittenberg Inaugural Speech 1518), introduce him as a Protestant theologian (A Sum of Christian Teaching addressed to the Landgrave of Hesse 1524), and address the relationship to Luther that was so fundamental to the success of the Wittenberg Reformation (Funeral Speech 1546).
