This is a study of Duke Ernst the Pious of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (1601--1675), a preeminent prince of early modern Lutheranism who has long reigned supreme in German historiography as an educational innovator, accomplished administrator, religious reformer, and Protestant saint. Following the cataclysmic destruction of the Thirty Years' War (1618--1648), Ernst instituted regular visitations, mandatory primary schooling, and compulsory catechism instruction for adults. Central to his reforming plans was Martin Luther's Small Catechism , which, when properly appreciated, provided a guide to Christian repentance and faith. In the land where Luther first preached, Ernst attempted to create a renewed Christian community.

520 $a This is a study of Duke Ernst the Pious of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (1601--1675), a preeminent prince of early modern Lutheranism who has long reigned supreme in German historiography as an educational innovator, accomplished administrator, religious reformer, and Protestant saint. Following the cataclysmic destruction of the Thirty Years' War (1618--1648), Ernst instituted regular visitations, mandatory primary schooling, and compulsory catechism instruction for adults. Central to his reforming plans was Martin Luther's Small Catechism , which, when properly appreciated, provided a guide to Christian repentance and faith. In the land where Luther first preached, Ernst attempted to create a renewed Christian community.
520 $a A central paradox of his reign is that while many of his policies fit the form of absolutism (mandatory schooling, visitations) or pietism (private devotion, conventicles), Ernst employed them for an apparently old-fashioned purpose: to save his subjects from the chaos of the Thirty Years' War and the judgment he saw coming. In this light, Ernst appears primarily as Luther's heir, a perception which emphasizes that the seventeenth century must be studied as an extraordinary mixture of continuity and change, and not merely as staging ground for new political dispensations or religious movements. This insight challenges the widespread historical assumption that confessionalism, which grew into confessionalization, played helpmate to modernization.
520 $a The first three chapters of this study explore Ernst's life prior to 1640 when he took office in Saxe-Gotha. The second three chapters employ the rubric "prophet, priest, king" to examine Ernst's reign. This triptych frees the reader to understand Ernst in seventeenth-century terms and addresses major scholarly questions of the early modern period: the importance of personal rule (prophet), the character of confessionalism and the dynamic of pietism (priest), and the emergence of absolutism (king).
520 $a When all aspects of Ernst's life are studied, the seventeenth century is opened to historians in new ways. His life casts much light on the nature of confessionalization, the rise of absolutism, the effects of the Thirty Years' War, and the emergence of pietism, as well as the ultimate fate of the Lutheran Reformation.
