Mayes> Thank you very much for enlightening me! Of course, now I also feel rather foolish and ignorant. ;-) All I can say is my alma mater was United Methodist, so until we reached the 20th c. (where we were supposed to fall in love with such figures as Paul Tillich), the only post-Reformation figure on the radar was Wesley!Aaron Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775589009145031773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-40242803145692653682008-12-12T06:12:00.000-06:002008-12-12T06:12:00.000-06:00It's too bad your Protestant school didn't tell yo...It's too bad your Protestant school didn't tell you about Johann Gerhard. He was the premier Lutheran theologian of post-Reformation Lutheranism. His Loci theologici set the benchmark against which all later Lutheran dogmatic writings were measured. He combined a warm piety with Aristotelian precision and thorough familiarity with the church fathers--Latin and Greek--in their original languages. As I recall, Gerhard's "Sacred Meditations" were translated into Russian and enjoyed some popularity in Russia. So if someone like Prokopovich had Protestant leanings, Gerhard would have probably been the most obvious theologian to borrow from. Gerhard's Theological Commonplaces are now being published in English. See www.cph.org and search for "Gerhard."Rev. Dr. Benjamin T. G.
