CHAPTER 18: REFORMATIONS AND COUNTER
REFORMATIONS
1 This remark is reliably attributed to the English Methodist preacher Rowland Hill (1744–1833; see The Oxford Dictionary of
Quotations, 3rd ed. [New York: Oxford University Press, 1979]), only by tradition to Luther. It is resisted by many modern Lutherans. In
the January 1997 issue of Concordia Theological Journal, Dr. James L. Brauer offered a $25 reward to any Luther scholar who could
find the quote about the devil’s tunes in Luther’s works (see James Tiefel, “The Devil’s Tavern Tunes,” Commission on Worship website,
http://www.wels.net/worship/art-104.html).
