Heinrich Heshusius and Confessional Polemic in Early Lutheran Orthodoxy by Michael J Halvorson

Heinrich Heshusius (1556-97) became a leading church superintendent and polemicist during the early age of Lutheran orthodoxy. Offering an introduction to Heshusius' writings and ideas, this volume explores the wider world of late-sixteenth-century German Lutheranism in which he lived and worked.
’This study illuminates one of the more obscure corners of early modern church history with historical sensitivity and theological discernment’ Lutheran Quarterly '... by examining an unknown yet influential clergyman and what his life and work reveal about the culture of early Lutheran Orthodoxy, this book renders a helpful service to the field of Reformation Studies.' Religious Studies Review
Michael J. Halvorson is Associate Professor and Chair in the Department of History at Pacific Lutheran University, USA.
