Amsdorf, Nikolaus von
The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church
Amsdorf, Nikolaus von (1483–1565),
Lutheran theologian. He joined M.
Luther in 1517 and accompanied him to the Disputation of
Leipzig (1519) and the Diet of
Worms (1521). In 1524 he went to Magdeburg to lead the Protestant opposition to the Catholic clergy and to reform the services on Lutheran lines. He objected to the
Leipzig Interim (1548) and became one of the leaders of the
Gnesio-Lutheran party opposed to the
Adiaphorists. Against G.
Major and others, he maintained that good works were not only useless but actually harmful.
