Weaver provides a close examiantion of Melanchthon's use of Homer in his education reforms. In this excellent and exciting study of the reception of Homer in sixteenth-century Wittenberg, William P. Weaver shows how central the ancient poet was to the education and theological climate that emerged in this Protestant stronghold in the wake of Martin Luther's critique of the Church.
