LUTHERAN THEOLOGY AND CONTRACT LAW IN EARLY MOD...

It is clear that the Lutheran Reformation greatly contributed to changes in theological and
legal ideas - but what was the extent of its impact on the field of contract law? Legal
historians have extensively studied the contract doctrines developed by Roman Catholic
theologians and canonists  however  they have largely neglected Martin Luther  Philip
Melanchthon  Johann Aepinus  Martin Chemnitz  Friedrich Balduin and many other reformers. This
book focuses on those neglected voices of the Reformation  exploring their role in the history
of contract law. These men mapped out general principles to counter commercial fraud and
dictated norms to regulate standard economic transactions. The most learned jurists  such as
Matthias Coler  Peter Heige  Benedict Carpzov  and Samuel Stryk  among others  studied these
theological teachings and implemented them in legal tenets. Theologians and jurists thus
cooperated in resolving contract law problems  especially those concerning interest and usury.
