Download or read book Calvin written by Bernard Cottret and published by JC Lattès. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pourquoi un Picard attacha-t-il son nom à la cité de Genève ? Comment un humaniste français devint-il l'une des plus hautes figures de la Réforme ? Calvin, homme d'Eglise, fut-il aussi homme d'Etat ? Vers 1532-1533, Calvin se rallie à la Réforme. Il publie bientôt la somme théologique du protestantisme réformé : l'Institution de la religion chrétienne. A Strasbourg comme à Genève, où il est retenu, le jeune auteur manifeste des qualités d'organisateur qui vont le faire passer à la postérité. Mais très vite, ses exigences de riguer suscitent l'opposition, l'hostilité et l'animosité. Car c'est un personnage contrasté que Jean Calvin. Il ne craint pas de polémiquer violemment - Servet, l'un de ses opposants, meurt sur le bûcher - et, dans le même temps, cherche à créer une catholicité évangélique, toujours actuelle. Ce Réformateur est essentiellement un conservateur qui manie aussi vivement la plus grande ouverture que la plus dure intoléance. Voilà donc un écrivain chrétien que son souci de restituer l'ancienne pureté de la foi place, paradoxalement, à l'aube du monde moderne et des idées d'homme. Bernard Cottret dirige le département Lettres et Langues à l'université de Versailles-Saint-Quentin.Il est l'auteur de plusieurs ouvrages sur le protestanisme français, l'histoire d'Angleterre ou la vie politique et religieuse des siècles passés : Terre d'exil; Le Christ des lumières, Cromwell, Histoire des îles Britanniques, XVI-XVIIIè siècles...
Book Synopsis Le Christ de Calvin by : Pierre Gisel
Download or read book Le Christ de Calvin written by Pierre Gisel and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce titre tient une place marquante dans la collection " Jésus et Jésus-Christ " et méritait de ce fait cette nouvelle édition soigneusement revue. Articulant l'approche historique et systématique à la lumière des différences confessionnelles, entre catholiques Romains et la Réforme, mais aussi entre Calvin et Luther, ou entre la Réforme et l'anabaptisme, cette présentation de la christologie de Calvin met en évidence un sens accusé de la transcendance de Dieu et, aussi, du poids des réalités humaines, historiques, charnelles et séculières. Elle propose là une représentation stimulante du Christ médiateur éternel comme de son œuvre de salut. Paru à l'occasion du cinq-centième anniversaire de la naissance de Calvin, cet ouvrage montre donc à quel point la christologie calvinienne aide à repenser le thème de la médiation : aussi bien la médiation entre Dieu et l'homme, manifestée par le Christ, que les médiations interhumaines, ecclésiales, culturelles ou sociales. Point central et toujours en débat au cœur de la foi chrétienne. Et point crucial au cœur des débats de la modernité avec elle-même.

Book Synopsis Calvin, A Biography by : Bernard Cottret
Download or read book Calvin, A Biography written by Bernard Cottret and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2003-05-22 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new authoritative and comprehensive biography, shedding new light on the life and personality of the great Reformer - and the milieu in which he lived and worked. Cottret's Calvin is not the 'static' theologian of earlier biographies, but a man of enormous vigour, constantly on the move in his thinking as well as in his life. Professor Cottret introduces the reader to the world into which Calvin was born, and follows him from childhood to humanistic and literary pursuits in Basel, to ministry in Geneva, to the halcyon Strasbourg years and finally back to Geneva. The vital issues of the day are encountered as it were through Calvin's eyes, as the author leads the reader through the dramatic upheavals of sixteenth-century Europe. A classic biography which will be an indispensable resource for students and scholars for years to come. Praise for Calvin: 'A tour de force. . . Cottret has avoided the trap of painting a character who would have had, from the beginning, all of the traits of his later years, and endeavours to show how Calvin became Calvin. . . Brilliant.' --Le Monde 'This excellent book regards the French Reformer with new eyes. . . Cottret mixes seriousness and welcome humour. For the public interested in a history of Protestanism, this book is full of reflections of the spirit of the Reformation.' --Les Livres du Mois "Bernard Cottret is an accomplished and successful writer . . . He has an idiosyncratic style that mixes narrative and professional bon mots of a cold philosophical nature . . . Cottret is also the first of recent biographers [. . .] to make extensive use of Calvin's sermons, many of which languished unpublished until recently. Calvin had grave doubts about the publication of such works and thought them fit only for a local and transitory audience; but it is here, in this less guarded medium, that Calvin's skill as a teacher and expositor shines forth with greatest clarity." --English Historical Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his study of a wide range of Calvin's works, Dr. Wallace has found that all Calvin's decisions on widely differing aspects of the Christian life can be understood and seen in their unity as they arise from his doctrine of the person and work of Christ as involving, once-for-all, the sanctification and destiny of the Church. In this context the book shows that humanity lives the Christian life as they seek to fulfill their calling to royal priesthood in Christ in union with his death and resurrection.
Book Synopsis Poverty in the Theology of John Calvin by : Bonnie L. Pattison
Download or read book Poverty in the Theology of John Calvin written by Bonnie L. Pattison and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-11-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the thesis of this study that in Calvin's theology, poverty and affliction--not splendor and glory--mark and manifest the kingdom of God on earth. Poverty makes the kingdom visible to the eyes and therefore recognizable as divine. Poverty acts to reveal or disclose that which is spiritual, or that which is Òof God in the Christian faith. This does not mean that Calvin sees the condition of physical poverty as revelatory in and of itself. Rather, poverty and affliction function as agents of divine revelation. They are a condition or a chosen instrument God uses to disclose to humanity the nature of true spirituality, godliness, and poverty of spirit. How this is demonstrated in Calvin's thought depends upon the specific doctrine under examination. This study explores three particular areas in Calvin's theology where his theological understanding of spiritual poverty and physical poverty (or affliction) intersect--his Christology, his doctrine of the Christian life, and his ecclesiology.

This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English Irena Backus' scholarship has been characterised by profound historical learning and philological acumen, extraordinary mastery of a wide range of languages, and broad-ranging interests. From the history of historiography to the story of Biblical exegesis and the reception of the Church Fathers, her research on the long sixteenth century stands as a point of reference for both historians of ideas and church historians alike. She also explored late medieval theology before turning her attention to the interplay of religion and philosophy in the seventeenth century, the focus of her late research. This volume assembles contributions from 35 international specialists that reflect the breadth of her interests and both illustrate and extend her path-breaking legacy as a scholar, teacher and colleague. Français La recherche d’Irena Backus témoigne d’une culture historique et philologique étendue, de son impeccable maîtrise des instruments linguistiques et de la multiplicité de ses centres d’intérêt. Ses études sont aujourd’hui une référence essentielle pour les spécialistes de l’histoire intellectuelle, de l’histoire de l’exégèse biblique et de la réception des Pères de l’Eglise pendant le long XVIe siècle. Seiziémiste de formation, elle s’est également aventurée dans d’autres chronologies, en s’intéressant à l’Église de la fin du moyen âge et à la philosophie de ce XVIIe siècle qui l’a de plus en plus passionnée et qui constitue aujourd’hui son centre d’intérêt majeur. Ce recueil célèbre son long et original enseignement et ses grandes qualités de chercheuses et de collègue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Calvin's sermons on Ezekiel, held between 1552 and 1554 in the church 'la Madeleine' in Geneva and now studied for the first time, offer intriguing material on his exposition of prophetic visions. The manuscripts disclose the reformer's preaching on the book as a whole, including the visions on the restoration of Israel, Gog and Magog, and the great temple vision. The first part of this study focuses on the history of patristic, medieval and 16th century exegesis of Ezekiel. The second part is a systematic theological analysis of the hermeneutical principles of Calvin's exposition of visionary revelation. Finally, the sermons on the visions of Ezek. 36-48, a unique specimen of literal historical exegesis with a christological perspective, are analysed.
