Bach’s oratorio is a globally popular musical work, and a significant expression of Lutheran theology. The commentary explains the Biblical and poetic text, and its musical setting, line by line. Bach’s Passion is shown to be the work of a master craftsman and trained theologian, in the collaborative and cultural milieu of eighteenth-century, Lutheran Leipzig. For the first time, this work makes much German scholarship available in English, including archival sources, and includes a new scholarly translation of the libretto. The musical and theological terms are explained, to enable an interdisciplinary understanding of the Passion’s meaning and continued significance.Studies in the history of Christian traditions ;Volume 168.782.23Loewe Andreas1659127Bach Johann Sebastian1685-1750.533945Bach Johann Sebastian1685-1750.533945Firth Katherine1979-Wright N.
