Originally published in 1970, Peter Abelard provides an exploration into the social and religious background to the story of Abelard and Heloise. The book presents the twelfth century as an age of renaissance, which saw the revival of Greek philosophy and Roman law, a renaissance just as important as that which was to come three centuries later. Through an examination of the life of Peter Abelard, the book offers an insight into this age of enlightenment in which dialects flourished and religious thought began to break away from the bonds of traditionalism. Peter Abelard will appeal to those with an interest in religious and social history, medieval history, and the story of Abelard and Heloise.

A concise commentary, highly useful as an accompaniment to the reading of the Augsburg Confession itself. All who are interested in the doctrinal traditions of the Lutheran Church can find here the means to increase their theological and historical understanding of the text. The theological perspective of the Augsburg Confession is made clear by comparisons with the writings of Luther and other Reformers, as well as with other main streams of the Christian tradition. Included for each article of the confession are the English translation of the text, notes on the text, and theological and historical commentary on the meaning of the article. Also included are an extensive introduction to the writing of the confession, footnotes, a selected bibliography, and an index. In its Danish, Swedish, and German editions this commentary has become a indispensable introduction to this classic confession of the Lutheran Reformation. Here is a source of fresh insight into the meaning of the Augsburg Confession -- and guidance into the meaning of the gospel for today.

Den augsburgske bekendelse, Confessio Augustana, blev til på Rigsdagen i Augsburg i 1530. Den var oprindeligt blot tænkt som et forhandlingsoplæg, men fik varig betydning som luthersk bekendelse og er et af Den Danske Folkekirkes bekendelsesskrifter.Bogen indeholder en dansk oversættelse af bekendelsens latinske tekst med forklarende noter. Til de første 21 af i alt 28 artikler redegør Leif Grane for de enkelte artiklers teologihistoriske baggrund og sammenhæng. Bogen er således også en indføring i den lutherske reformations hovedtanker.Der er her tale om et uændret fotografisk optryk af 1. oplag fra 1994.
