Christianopolitana,” or “Christianopolis,” 1619,—a description of a
Christian model commonwealth, dedicated to John Arndt, the author of
“True Christianity.” Comp. Hossbach, Das Leben Val. Andreae, p. 10;
Henry, p. 196 (small biography); Tholuck’s article in Herzog, I. 388
sqq.; Schaff, Creeds, I. 460 (which gives the German original).
Andreae’s memory was revived by the great Herder. Spener said: “If I

undoubtedly Calvin.” History of Interpretation, London, 1886, p. 342.

Anglican Church) to be of more force than if “ten thousand Augustins,
Jeromes, Chrysostoms, Cyprians were brought forth.”
