Life Under The Cross

"Most people forgotten by history deserve this collective amnesia. . . Matthias Flacius Illyricus is an exception to this rule." -from the ForewordWho was Matthias Flacius Illyricus? The name might sound familiar to you as he's mentioned in Gerhard's works and was instrumental to the Magdeburg Confessions. Yet, Flacius was considered to be incredibly polarizing, with his works being beneficial to the late Reformation while others were considered detrimental. Further still, each of his contributions helped shape the confessional Lutheranism. In this biography by Dr. Wade Johnston, step back in time to the late Reformation and learn more about this lesser-known figure. A foreword from Aaron Moldenhauer, Vice President for Mission and Church Relations, Concordia University Wisconsin and Ann Arbor is included along with a short bibliography for further research.
