Mayes, Benjamin T. G.: Counsel and Conscience

Lutheran Casuistry and Moral Reasoning After the Reformation. As an extensive example from this genre Mayes examines the Thesaurus 'Consiliorum Et Decisionum', published in 1671 by Georg Dedekenn and Johann Ernst Gerhard. The author shows that in the Thesaurus the Lutheran casuistry literature, which has been overlooked in most scholarship of the 20th and 21st centuries, was in bloom. It arose to meet the needs of people who had doubts, and it continued to instruct and console Christian consciences for many generations. 350 Seiten mit 5 Tab., gebunden (Refo500 Academic Studies; Vol. 1/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2011) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
