Chemnitz, Martin (1522–86), Lutheran theologian. He spent most of his life in Brunswick. He defended M. Luther's doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, though he deprecated further elaboration as to the mode of the Presence. He attacked the Council of Trent and wrote an important doctrinal work on the Person of Christ. He took a leading part in drawing up the Formula of Concord and was one of the main influences in consolidating Lutheran doctrine and practice in the generation after Luther's death.
