Scolastica Evul Mediu si incapatanarea hainelor latine ale documentelor Renasteri au incuiat afara din discursul public masele largi pentru care murise Christos. Reforma a fost pasionata de „mantuire“ si de proiectarea adevarului spre sufletele celor multi. Raman uimit sa observ aceleasi distinctii si in lumea academica a teologilor de azi.

Wrapping it in humanist poetry, Melanchthon expressed what to him was the
central goal of his work in the Reformation: simple exposition of Christ’s teaching in
“life and morals” for the sake of the ignorant in the church. He contrasted this sharply
to the linguistic legerdemain and posturing he found around him.

Whether he was thinking of the commentaries of medieval scholastics or of the obscure but pleasant
paraphrases of humanist contemporaries makes no difference. His central criteria
for judging his own work and others’ from any age were its usefulness and clarity.
