Commonplaces: Loci Communes 1521

This is arguably Philip Melanchthon's most important work. Anyone interested in the history of the Lutheran Reformation will find that this book, the first Lutheran work of "systematic theology," is presented in a very lively, accessible English translation, with extensive, helpful footnotes that explain the people and concepts used by Melanchthon to explain the Gospel.
