English summary: In these studies, Jorg Baur analyzes fundamental theological concepts and protagonists of the Lutheran confessional culture in the early modern era. With subjects ranging from Johannes Brenz to V.E. Loscher and the founding of the University of Gottingen, the author describes numerous problems and solutions whose topicality confirms Leibniz’s idea of aone step backwards in order to take two steps forward. The productive way in which the author deals with the antitheses of autonomy and mercy releases thinking from alternatives which have become banal. Models of modern orthodoxies (Kant, Herder among others) and their origins (Plato, Aristotle) are connected to Christianity’s claim to the truth. German description: In den vorliegenden Studien erschliesst Jorg Baur wichtige theologische Entwurfe und Akteure der lutherischen Konfessionskultur der Fruhen Neuzeit durch eine grundliche und grossflachig vernetzte Interpretation. Der Bogenschlag von Johannes Brenz bis zu V.E. Loscher und der Gottinger Universitatsgrundung prasentiert eine Fulle von Fragestellungen und Problemlosungen, deren Aktualitat die Leibnizsche Devise bestatigt: aman muss zuruckgehen, um besser springen zu konnen. Der Umgang des Autors mit den positionellen Antithesen von Autonomie und Gnade lost das Denken aus banal gewordenen Alternativen. Modelle neuzeitlicher Orthodoxien (u.a. Kant, Herder) und deren Ursprunge (Plato, Aristoteles) werden mit dem Wahrheitsanspruch des Christentums vermittelt.
