About Professor Johnston:
My dissertation is a comparative work examining the writings of Matthias Flacius Illyricus in the Adiaphoristic Controversy in Germany and John Hooper in the Vestment Controversy in England. I am also very interested in the Lutheran Confessions (their historical context and their content, to which confessional Lutherans subscribe). I have presented and will be presenting at a variety of conferences on the continued vitality and relevance of the Book of Concord in the twenty-first century. My minor fields are the Ancient Mediterranean and Modern Europe and I read regularly and with great interest in both fields. I am especially interested in challenges to Christianity and the response of Christian churches in each of these periods of church history as well as the Reformation and post-Reformation understanding and utilization of early periods of church history.
