Born in Braunschweig, Germany, he dedicated much of his life to the defense and articulation of Lutheran doctrine, particularly in response to the Catholic Church's teachings as outlined in the Council of Trent. His works, including the "Examination of the Council of Trent," played a significant role in clarifying Lutheran beliefs and distinguishing them from Catholic practices.

He sought to bring unity among Lutherans and to counteract the divisions caused by various interpretations of doctrine. His legacy is marked by his contributions to Lutheran confessions and catechisms, which continue to influence Lutheran theology today.
