Abstract
Abstract Philipp Jakob Spener was one of the most important Lutheran theologians in the last third of the 17th century. For Spener, the letter is a means of information and communication. Spener’s letters contain multiple news items about people, events and new literary publications. He himself published his responsa using excerpts and complete letters for it. Private letters can hardly be found in the printed Responsa collections. However, some of these have been preserved as originals or as copies. The variety of topics is remarkable. Using preserved manuscripts, a historical-critical edition of Spener’s letters is currently being made.
