The reformation of historical thought
In 'The Reformation of Historical Thought', Mark Lotito re-examines the development of Western historiography by concentrating on Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560) and his universal history, 'Carion's Chronicle' (1532). With the 'Chronicle', Melanchthon overturned the medieval papal view of history, and he offered a distinctly Wittenberg perspective on the foundations of the \"modern\" European world. Through its immense popularity, the 'Chronicle' assumed extraordinary significance across the divides of language, geography and confession. Indeed, Melanchthon's intervention would become the point of departure for theologians, historians and jurists to debate the past, present and future of the Holy Roman Empire. Through the 'Chronicle', the Wittenberg reformation of historical thought became an integral aspect of European intellectual culture for the centuries that followed.

Pagans and Theologians: An Examination of the Use of Christian Sources in Niels Hemmingsen’s De Lege Naturae
At the conclusion of his
, a treatise on the law of nature, how it is grasped by the human mind, and how it coheres with the Decalogue, Niels Hemmingsen claims to have eschewed the use of theological sources in his argument, claiming instead to have demonstrated ‘how far reason is able to progress without the prophetic and apostolic word’. Yet the reader of the treatise will notice several citations of theologians alongside those of pagan poets and philosophers. This essay demonstrates that there is less here than meets the eye, that is, that Hemmingsen quotes theologians only to buttress what one can know from natural reason or the classical tradition, even when he is discussing God, and thus he does not violate his own stated principle.

Los primeros teólogos luteranos modernos y el censo redimible: hacia una reformulación de la prohibición de intereses
En la Alemania del siglo XVI, una operación financiera particular llamada widekaufflicher Zins o contrato del cinco por ciento provocó controversias legales y teológicas masivas. Este contrato producía efectos similares a los de un préstamo y, por tanto, contrarrestaba la prohibición de cobrar intereses. Martín Lutero (1483-1546), Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560), Johannes Brenz (1499-1570), Johannes Aepinus (1499-1553), Urbanus Rhegius (1489-1541), Martin Chemnitz (1522-1586), Aegidius Hunnius (1550-1603) y Johann Gerhard (1582-1637) abordaron este tema y terminaron reformulando la prohibición de intereses y trazando un conjunto de reglas para el buen uso de este contrato. Este artículo examinará sus opiniones, al tiempo que prestará atención a los aspectos en los que sus enseñanzas se asemejaron a las católicas o en las que tomaron un camino diferente.

Melanchthon’s Didactic Genre and the Rhetoric of Reformation
As professor of Greek and theology at the University of Wittenberg, Philip Melanchthon (1497–1560) authored three of the most important rhetorical textbooks of his era. Melanchthon’s addition of a new genre of rhetoric, the didactic, to the classical genres of demonstrative, judicial, and deliberative oratory illuminates his view of rhetoric as an instrument for the renaissance and reformation of traditions and institutions. Cultivating faculties of judgment and understanding was Melanchthon’s prescription for survival amid theological and political chaos—a prescription that continues to hold value for rhetors in the current historical moment.

The Aristotelian Conception of Natural Law and Its Reception in Early Protestant Commentaries on the Nicomachean Ethics
The Protestant reception both of Aristotle and of the concept of natural law have been the object of renewed attention. The present article aims at a cross-fertilization of these two recoveries: did a specifically Aristotelian approach to natural law (among other important sources) play a significant role in classical Protestant thought? The article answers this question by means of a review of the Protestant commentaries on Aristotle’s natural law-passage in
V, 7. Reformation and post-Reformation scholars sometimes offered original readings of this text, but above all they cultivated the various approaches to the passage that had been developed during the medieval period.

Die Ordnung der Affekte: Frömmigkeit als Erziehungsideal bei Erasmus von Rotterdam und Philipp Melanchthon
Cinco teses sao defendidas na obra: 1) Piedade é um conceito ordenador dos afetos; 2) as teorias sobre afetos determinam a compreensao de piedade; 3) isso se configura em discussÐes teológicas e filosóficas; 4) o processo de ordenamento dos afetos significa uma pedagogia que visa a piedade e ao mesmo tempo uma piedade que visa educar; 5) isso tem implicares sobre a configuraçao pedagógica. Na opiniao do autor, o pessimismo antropológico que se encontra nos Loci theologici de 1521 nao teria sido abandonado. A razao inscrita na mente humana nao é capaz, sem a açao divina, de organizar adequadamente os afetos internos, mas consegue em certa medida impedir a sua atividade desenfreada na convivencia social. A primeira aparece nas páginas 182 a 185: enquanto a pedagogia de Erasmo visa o auto-exame e o melhoramento de si pela imitaçao de Cristo (o que poderia, porém, levar a abusos eclesiásticos), a de Melanchthon torna a pessoa livre dessa pressao por um melhoramento (mas a submete a autoridade civil).
