Everything about Leonhard Hutter totally explained
Leonhard Hutter (January,
1563 -
October 23,
1616), was a
German Lutheran theologian.
He was born at
Nellingen near
Ulm. From
1581 he studied at the universities of
Strasbourg,
Leipzig,
Heidelberg and
Jena. In
1594 he began to give theological lectures at
Jena, and in 1596 accepted a call as professor of
theology at
Wittenberg, where he died twenty years later.
Hutter was a stern champion of
Lutheran orthodoxy, as set down in the confessions and embodied in his own
Compendium locorum theologicorum (1610; reprinted 1863), being so faithful to his master as to win the title of "Luther redonatus."
In reply to
Rudolf Hospinian's
Concordia discors (1607), he wrote a work, rich in historical material but one-sided in its argument,
Concordia concors (1614), defending the
formula of Concord, which he regarded as inspired. His
Irenicum vere christianum is directed against
David Pareus (1548-1622), professor primarius at Heidelberg, who in
Irenicum sive de unione et synodo Evangelicorum (1614) had pleaded for a reconciliation of
Lutheranism and
Calvinism; his
Calvinista aulopoliticus (1610) was written against the "damnable Calvinism" which was becoming prevalent in
Holstein and
Brandenburg. Another work, based on the
Formula of Concord, was entitled
Loci communes theologici.
