Examination of the Council of Trent (Latin:Examen Concilii Tridentini, 1565–73) is a large theological work of Lutheran ReformerMartin Chemnitz.
The work was published in Latin as four volumes. It includes the decrees and canons of theCouncil of Trent analysed from aLutheran point of view.
R. Bendixen andChristoph Ernst Luthardt published a condensed version of 4 volume workExamen Concilii Tridentini, condensed to a single volume of 287 pages in 1884.[1][2]
Examination of the Council of Trent has been translated into English by Fred Kramer and published by Concordia Publishing House, 1971–86.
Diogo de Payva de Andrada, a delegate at theCouncil of Trent, replied to Chemnitz'sExamen with what is regarded as his best work:A Defence of the Faith of Trent, published in 1578. The doctrinal dispute between Andrada and Chemnitz had gone back and forth since Chemnitz had first publishedTheologiae Jesuitarum praecipua capita, in 1562.[3]
