Editing Leonhard Hutter (section)

==Works==
Hutter was a stern champion of [[Lutheran orthodoxy]], as set down in the confessions and embodied in his own ''Compendium locorum theologicorum'' (1610; reprinted 1863), being so faithful to his master as to win the title of "Luther redonatus."{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}}

In reply to [[Rudolf Hospinian]]'s ''Concordia discors'' (1607), he wrote a work, rich in historical material but one-sided in its argument, ''Concordia concors'' (1614), defending the [[formula of Concord]], which he regarded as inspired. His ''Irenicum vere christianum'' is directed against [[David Pareus]] (1548–1622), professor primarius at Heidelberg, who in ''Irenicum sive de unione et synodo Evangelicorum'' (1614) had pleaded for a reconciliation of [[Lutheranism]] and [[Calvinism]]; his ''Calvinista aulico-politicus'' (1610) was written against the "damnable Calvinism" which was becoming prevalent in [[Holstein]] and [[Brandenburg]]. Another work, based on the [[Formula of Concord]], was entitled ''Loci communes theologici''.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}}
