Despite the vast number of studies concerning the life and teaching of Martin Luther, scholars have not previously considered the ways in which his contemporaries and successors used his influence in the German Reformation. Professor Robert Kolb treats that subject in this well-researched volume on the continuing role of Luther's legacy. The following generations of Reformers, he argues, used Luther in different ways as they sought to deal with the changed circumstances of the church in their own age. Kolb suggests three categories to describe the ways in which Luther's disciples used his influence and adapted it to the needs of the church in their respective ages: prophet, teacher, and hero.

Prophet--During his own lifetime and immediately thereafter, Luther was often identified with the biblical prophets as having a unique authority from God to challenge the place of the papacy.
Teacher--As internal conflicts and doctrines increasingly came to the fore, Luther was seen as the authoritative interpreter of Scripture whose writings could be cited as the definitive proofs on any disputed points.
Hero--By the end of the sixteenth century, much less emphasis was placed on Luther as a distinctive and authoritative prophet/teacher, and he was more often revered as the hero of the national church whose courage was celebrated in art and on stage.

______________

"Professor Kolb has woven a fascinating tale about the effect of Luther on his theological heirs. Here, in an easy-to-read, yet scholarly account, the reader is expertly led through a labyrinth of sixteenth-century Luther reception. Kolb's grasp of the pertinent secondary literature and his command of a vast array of primary sources combine to reveal the variety of ways early Lutherans and others sought to comprehend how the Reformer had changed the religious and social landscape of the early modern German lands. This is a landmark study with which everyone interested in Luther studies will need to grapple."
--Timothy J. Wengert, Professor, The Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia

Highly recommendable item
Color: Green, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Green, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I recently added the Vogcrest Cyperus Rotundus Oil to my grooming routine, and it has been a game-changer for skin maintenance. According to the packaging in this formula is 100% plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free, which was a major selling point for me. The oil is steam distilled, ensuring a high-quality botanical experience. Since I started using it, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in post-shave redness. It lives up to its promise to soothe irritation and moisturize skin without feeling excessively oily or clogging pores. While these results typically take consistent use over time, my skin feels noticeably smoother for longer periods compared to using standard lotions. It is a clean, effective alternative for anyone looking to simplify their skincare while moving away from synthetic chemicals. The bottle is compact and travel-friendly, making it easy to maintain my routine on the go. If you want an ethical, dual-action oil that hydrates while managing regrowth, I highly recommend giving this a try.

Good quality

I bought this to control some hair growth in a small area and it is definitely helping increase time between trims. It has a really mild scent, which I appreciate -- actually, really hard to smell it unless I put my nose right up to it. Nicely packaged with clear instructions.

Nice choice for after shave oil
Color: Green, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I couldn’t wait to try this after shave oil after using Vogcrest’ facial trimmer (which works wonders also!) on my eyebrows and other areas this afternoon. The smell isn’t loud as anticipated, though it is like an earthy scent but it doesn’t stick after the oil dries. As seen in the video, the consistency isn’t too thick to be applied to the face, or anywhere else after shaving. I put it on my hand to give an idea of the absorption and consistency. It rubs in easily and settles in the skin nicely. I’ve tried others that are too thick, or leave like a sticky after feel, which this doesn’t. Glad I tried this out! I look forward to seeing if it slows the regrowth or not. May come back & update.

I like it
Great after-shave product. It deeply moisturizes the skin and even makes my tattoo look more vibrant and defined. I haven’t noticed any significant effect on slowing hair growth yet, but it completely prevents irritation and leaves the skin feeling smooth and comfortable. For the price, it’s an excellent product and definitely worth trying.
