The Second Martin



Chemnitz, the Second Martin


Si Martinus non fuisset, Martinus vix stetisset.

("If Martin [Chemnitz] had not come along, Martin [Luther] would hardly have survived") goes a common saying concerning him.

That saying reminds me of the opinion that Paul created the Christian faith with his world-wide travels.

If Martin Chemnitz had not come along, God would have provided another genius to do the same work.
