Aprašymas
As Martin Luther said, Christians are saints and sinners, and perhaps this is best shown in the life of Matthias Flacius Illyricus (1520-75). He worked tirelessly to preserve the Evangelical faith in the years following the death of Luther, but he also inspired antipathy through his brashness and intransigence.
While helping to craft the Magdeburg Confession and resist the imposition of the Augsburg Interim, he also contributed to the fractures that necessitated the Formula of Concord.
Author Wade Johnston presents a balanced exploration of a complex man whose sometimes-controversial positions continue to influence how we live our Christian faith in modern society.
