Also 6 lutherane.
[f. proper name Luther + -an.]
A. adj. Pertaining to the German reformer Martin Luther (1483–1546), his opinions and followers.
In the 16th c. the designation was used by Roman Catholic writers as coextensive with Protestant; applied, e.g., to the reformed Church of England. Now chiefly applied to doctrinal views held by Luther in opposition to other reformers, e.g. his doctrine as to the nature of Christ's presence in the Eucharist (see consubstantiation), and as the appellation of those churches, principally in Germany and Scandinavia, which accept the Augsburg Confession as their official doctrinal symbol.
