Lutheran theologian, third son of See also:Paul Kemnitz, a See also:cloth-worker of See also:noble extraction, was See also:born at Treuenbrietzen, See also:Brandenburg, on the 9th of See also:November 1522
.
See also:Left an See also:orphan at the See also:age of eleven, he worked for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time at his See also:father's See also:trade
.
A relative at See also:Magdeburg put him to school there (1539-1542)
.
Having made a little See also:money by teaching, he went (1543) to the university of See also:Frankfort-on-See also:Oder; thence (1545) to that of See also:Wittenberg
.
Here he heard See also:Luther preach, but was more attracted by See also:Melanchthon, who interested him in See also:mathematics and See also:astrology
.
Melanchthon gave him (1547) an introduction to his son-in-See also:law, Georg Sabinus, at See also:Konigsberg, where he was See also:tutor to some See also:Polish youths, and See also:rector (1548) of the Kneiphof school
.
He practised astrology; this recommended him to See also:Duke See also:Albert of See also:Prussia, who made him his librarian (1550)
.
He then turned to Biblical, patristic and kindred studies
.
His See also:powers were first brought out in controversy with See also:Osiander on See also:justification by faith
.
Osiander, maintaining the infusion of See also:Christ's righteousness into the believer, impugned the Lutheran See also:doctrine of imputation; See also:Chemnitz defended it with striking ability
.
As Duke Albert sided with Osiander, Chemnitz resigned the librarianship
.
Returning (1553) to Wittenberg, he lectured on Melanchthon's Loci Communes, his lectures forming the basis of his own Loci Theologici (published posthumously, 1591), which constitute probably the best ex-position of Lutheran See also:theology as formulated and modified by Melanchthon
.
His lectures were thronged, and a university career of See also:great See also:influence See also:lay before him, when he accepted a See also:call to become coadjutor at See also:Brunswick to the See also:superintendent, See also:Joachim Morlin, who had known him at Konigsberg
.
He removed to Brunswick on the 15th of See also:December 1554, and there spent the See also:remainder of his See also:life, refusing subsequent offers of important offices from various See also:Protestant princes of See also:Germany
.
Zealous in the duties of his See also:pastoral See also:charge, he took a leading See also:part in theological controversy
.
His See also:personal influence, at a See also:critical See also:period, did much to secure strictness of doctrine and compactness of organization in the Lutheran See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church
.
Against Crypto-Calvinists he upheld the Lutheran view of the See also:eucharist in his Repetitio sanae doctrinae de See also:Vera Praesentia (156o; in German, 1561)
.
To check the reaction towards the old See also:religion he wrote several See also:works of great See also:power, especially his Theologiae Jesuit arum praecipua capita (1562), an incisive attack on the principles of the society, and the Examen concilii Tridentini (four parts, 1565-66-72-73), his greatest See also:work
.
His Corpus doctrinae Prutenicum (1567), See also:drawn up in See also:conjunction with Morlin, at once acquired great authority
.
In the See also:year of its publication he became superintendent of Brunswick, and in effect the director of his church throughout See also:Lower See also:Saxony
.
His tact was equal to his learning
.
In conjunc-
tion with See also:Andrea and Selnecker he induced the See also:Lutherans of Saxony and See also:Swabia to adopt the See also:Formula Concordiae and so become one See also:body
.
Against lax views of Socinian tendency he directed his able See also:treatise De duabus naturis in Christo (1570)
.
Resigning See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office in infirm See also:health (1584) he survived till the 8th of See also:April 1586
