‎Later edition of Chemniz’ collected works. Chemniz had lectured on Melanchthon's 'Loci Communes' from which lectures he compiled his own 'Loci Theologici', a system of theology (the first three parts of the present book). Martin Chemnitz (1522–1586) was a German Lutheran theologian and reformer who played a significant role in the development of Lutheran doctrine during the 16th century. He is often referred to as the ""Second Martin"" after Martin Luther, due to his prominence within the Lutheran tradition. Chemnitz is best known for his extensive work in systematizing Lutheran theology to which this present work is a fine example. He was a key figure in resolving theological controversies that arose after Luther's death and played a crucial role in shaping the direction of the Lutheran Reformation after Luther.‎
