Summary: In 1521, Melanchthon wrote the first Protestant dogmatics, the "Loci Communes." Eck countered in 1525 with his "handbook on Theological Topics".

Eck uses the same topical procedure and cites the Bible, Church Fathers, Councils, and Popes heavily in the presentation of his arguments.

Summary: A report on the Leipzig Disputation of 1519, ostensibly between Karlstadt and Johann Eck, but with the active participation of Luther both in preparation and in delivery. It was at this formal disputation that Eck was successful in pushing Luther to admit that not only popes, but councils, as well, had erred. This was an important point in Eck's favor, since Luther had, up to this point, appealed from the authority of the Pope to that of an ecumenical council.

Summary: After Karlstadt had been driven out of Saxony, he sought refuge in South Germany. When this proved impossible, he returned to Wittenberg. Karlstadt publish a retraction of his former opinions and then publish nothing else without prior approval. This is the retraction with Luther's preface. Needless to say, Karlstadt did not find these conditions at all acceptable and he was soon on the move again. He came to settle in Switzerland, first in Zurich and finally in Basel, where he died on Christmas Eve, 1541.
