Text in German


==================================
The 1559 edition of Summaria uber die gantze Bibel, published in Nurnberg by Johann vom Berg and Ulrich Neuber, is a cornerstone text of the Lutheran Reformation.

Written by reformer Veit Dietrich, it features collaborative contributions from theological giants Philipp Melanchthon and Johannes Brenz to provide clear, accessible scriptural education for the common person.

The book explicitly states it is designed for the "young folk" (jungen Volck) and the "common man" (gemeinem Mann).
It distills complex theological structures into foundational principles, teaching readers how to align their lives with scripture and find comfort for their souls.

Author Veit Dietrich was a close confidant and student of Martin Luther.
Melanchthon and Brenz added their own exegetical authority, cementing this text as a unified representation of core Lutheran orthodoxy.
