| Summary: | It is well-known that Luther authored seven catechism hymns and specifically recommended them as an additional means of teaching the material in the Lutheran catechism. Less known, however, ist that there are numerous poetical versions of the catechism, dating from the last third of the 16th century. One of these versions, published in 1572, comes down to us from Nikolaus Selnecker, and was a clear witness to Selnecker's preference for Lutheranism amidst North German rejection of Wittenberg Cryptocalvinism. This is best seen in the 19 stanzas of Selnecker's communion hymn, in which he defends the literal physical presence of Christ as both biblical and Christological. Selnecker's hymns of Christian dogma seem to have been sung in Kursachsen up to the middle of the 17th century. |
