'''Martin Chemnitz''' (9 November 1522 &ndash; 8 April 1586) was an eminent second-generation [[German Confederation|German]], [[Lutheranism|Evangelical Lutheran]], [[Christian theology|Christian theologian]], and a [[Protestant Reformers|Protestant reformer]], churchman, and confessor.<ref name=EB1911>((cite EB1911|wstitle=Chemnitz, Martin|volume=6|page=76))</ref> In the Evangelical Lutheran tradition he is known as ''Alter Martinus,'' the "Second Martin": ''Si Martinus non fuisset, Martinus vix stetisset'' ("If Martin [Chemnitz] had not come along, [[Martin Luther|Luther]] would hardly have survived") goes a common saying concerning him. He is [[Calendar of Saints (Lutheran)|listed and remembered]] in the Calendar of Saints and Commemorations in the Liturgical Church Year as a pastor and confessor by both the [[Evangelical Lutheran Church in America]]<ref>((cite book |title=Evangelical Lutheran Worship |year=2006 |publisher=Augsburg Fortress |isbn=9780806656182 |edition=Pew))</ref> and [[Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod]].<ref>((cite book |author=Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod |title=Lutheran Service Book |location=St. Louis, MO |publisher=Concordia Publishing House |pages=x-xiii |date=2006 |isbn=978-0-7586-1217-5))</ref>

==Early life and education==
Chemnitz, born in [[Treuenbrietzen]] in [[Margraviate of Brandenburg|Brandenburg]] to Paul and Euphemia Chemnitz, was the last of three children.<ref>[http://www.studiumexcitare.com/content/73 Joshua Zarling, "Martin Chemnitz," ''Studium Excitare: A Journal of Confessional Languages Studies at MLC'', Issue #1]</ref> His older siblings' names were Matthew and Ursula. His father was a successful merchant who died when Martin was eleven:<ref name=EB1911/> thereafter, the family suffered from financial difficulties.

When he was old enough, Martin matriculated in [[Magdeburg]]. Upon completion of the course work, he became a [[weaving|weaver]]'s apprentice. He helped his family with its clothing business for the next few years. When he was 20, he resumed his education at the [[University of Frankfurt (Oder)]]. He remained in school until his finances were exhausted; he then took a teaching job in the town of [[Wriezen]], supplementing his income by collecting the local sales tax on fish. His time at Frankfurt gave him the basic tools to continue his education on his own, researching areas in which he was interested and applying his naturally inquisitive mind to problems that others had worried over in the past.

In 1545 Chemnitz accompanied his cousin [[Georg Sabinus]] to school at the [[University of Wittenberg]] in [[Wittenberg|Wittenberg, Germany]]<ref name=EB1911/> (1545–1547), where he studied under [[Martin Luther]] (1483-1546) and [[Philip Melanchthon]] (1497-1560). From Melanchthon he learned to shape his theological education, beginning with the difference between "law" and "gospel". In Chemnitz's words, though he heard Luther lecture often, he "did not pay Luther the attention he should have." (cf. Autobiography) Because of Luther's death and political events, Chemnitz transferred to the [[University of Königsberg]] (1547–1548). Chemnitz graduated in the first class with a [[Master of Arts]] degree (1548). However, a plague soon infested the [[Baltic Sea]] [[Hanseatic League|Hanseatic]] [[German Confederation|German]] port town of [[Königsberg]] in [[East Prussia]], (today renamed  [[Kaliningrad]] since occupied by the [[Soviet Union]] in 1945 at the end of [[World War II]], now annexed into the [[Russian Federation]]) so Chemnitz left quickly for [[Zalewo|Saalfeld]]. When he judged it safe, Chemnitz returned to Königsberg in 1550, now employed by [[Albert, Duke of Prussia]], as the court librarian for the [[Konigsberg State and University Library]]. In return for caring for the library and teaching a few courses as a tutor, he had unrestricted access to what was then considered one of the finest libraries in Europe (and unfortunately later damaged and lost with its contents and elaborate building 400 years later during the battles swirling around the [[Prussia]]n city on the [[Eastern Front (World War II)|Eastern Front]] of the Second World War in 1944–1945).

For the first time Chemnitz applied himself completely to [[Theology|theological]] study. During these years his interest shifted from [[astrology]], which he had studied in [[Magdeburg]], to [[theology]]. He began his own course of study by carefully working through the [[Bible]] in the original languages of [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] and [[Ancient Greek language|Ancient Greek]] with the goal of answering questions that had previously puzzled him. When he felt ready to move on, he turned his attention to the [[Fathers of the Church|early theologians of the Church]], whose writings he read slowly and carefully. Then he turned to current theological concerns, again reading slowly while painstakingly making copious notes. This early method of [[Lutheran scholasticism|Lutheran scholastic]] self-study had been suggested by Melanchthon in his Writings (cf. Autobiography).

==His vocation as reformer, churchman, and theologian==
((lutheranism))
Chemnitz moved back to [[Wittenberg]] in 1553<ref name=EB1911/> as a guest of [[Philipp Melanchthon|Melanchthon]]. In January 1554 he joined the [[Wittenberg University]] faculty. He lectured on Melanchthon's ''Loci Communes'', from which lectures he compiled his own ''Loci Theologici,'' a system of theology. He was [[ordination|ordained]] to the ministry on 26 November 1554 by [[Johannes Bugenhagen]] (1485-1558), and became co-adjutor of [[Joachim Mörlin]] (1514-1571), who was [[superintendent (ecclesiastical)|ecclesiastical superintendent]] for the Duchy of [[Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel]]. When Mörlin resigned in 1567, Chemnitz became his successor; he held the post for the rest of his life.

Through his leadership, Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was brought firmly into [[Evangelical Lutheranism]]. There he helped his prince, Duke [[Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel]], establish the [[University of Helmstedt]] (1575–76). With [[Jakob Andreae]], [[David Chytraeus]], [[Nicholas Selnecker]], [[Andrew Musculus]] and others, Chemnitz took part in a centrist movement that brought agreement among German Lutherans in the writing and publication of the ''[[Formula of Concord]]'' (1577), of which Chemnitz was one of the primary authors. He was instrumental in the publication of the definitive ''[[Book of Concord|Book of Concord: Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church]]'' presented in 1580, containing a series of important earlier confessional theological  documents, treatises, commentaries, catechisms as the compilation of the doctrinal standard of the [[Lutheran Church|Evangelical Lutheran Church]]. Other major works are ''Examen Concilii Tridentini''<ref name=EB1911/> (''[[Examination of the Council of Trent]]'') and ''De Duabis Naturis in Christo'' (''[[On the Two Natures in Christ]]''). These works demonstrate Martin Chemnitz's abilities as a biblical, doctrinal and historical theologian in the [[Lutheran Orthodoxy|orthodox Lutheran]] tradition. He died in [[Braunschweig]].
