Download or read book Peter Martyr Vermigli (1499–1562) and the Outward Instruments of Divine Grace written by Jason Zuidema and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2008-08-20 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der reformierte Theologe Peter Martyr Vermigli (1499–1562) war ein Moderator. Er suchte den Mittelweg zwischen theologischen Extremen. Dafür typisch waren seine Überlegungen zu den äußeren Zeichen der göttlichen Gnade. Solche Zeichen – die menschliche Natur Christi, die vernehmbaren Worte der Schrift und die sichtbaren Worte der Sakramente – sollten laut Vermigli weder zu stark »verfleischlicht« noch zu stark spiritualisiert werden. Obwohl Gott auch direkt, ohne dazwischen geschaltete Zeichen, handeln könnte, hat er verfügt, Heil durch diese Zeichen zu erwirken. Deshalb lassen sich die innere spirituelle Kraft und das äußere Zeichen nicht voneinander trennen. Vermigli, ein gebildeter humanistischer Forscher, vertrat wohl bedachte, distinguierte Positionen. Ein tieferer Blick in seine Theologie, wie ihn Zuidema wagt, lohnt sich, um die inneren theologischen Vernetzungen seiner Zeit besser kennen zu lernen.
Book Synopsis The Genevan Reformation and the American Founding by : David W. Hall
Download or read book The Genevan Reformation and the American Founding written by David W. Hall and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative study, David W. Hall argues that the American founders were more greatly influenced by Calvinism than contemporary scholars, and perhaps even the founders themselves, have understood. Calvinism's insistence on human rulers' tendency to err played a significant role in the founders' prescription of limited government and fed the distinctly American philosophy in which political freedom for citizens is held as the highest value. Hall's timely work countervails many scholars' doubt in the intellectual efficacy of religion by showing that religious teachings have led to such progressive ideals as American democracy and freedom.
Book Synopsis A Companion to Peter Martyr Vermigli by : Torrance Kirby
Download or read book A Companion to Peter Martyr Vermigli written by Torrance Kirby and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great Florentine Protestant reformer Peter Martyr Vermigli (1499-1562) made a unique contribution to the scriptural hermeneutics of the Renaissance and Reformation, where classical theories of interpretation derived from Patristic and Scholastic sources engaged with new methods drawn from Humanism and Hebraism. Vermigli was one of the pioneers of the sixteenth century in acknowledging and harnessing the biblical scholarship of the medieval Rabbis. His eminence in the Catholic Church in Italy (until 1542) was followed by an equally distinguished career as theologian and exegete in Protestant Europe where he was professor successively in Strasbourg, Oxford, and finally in Zurich. The Companion consists of 24 essays divided among five themes addressing Vermigli s international career, hermeneutical method, biblical commentaries, major theological topics, and his later influence. Contributors include: Scott Amos, Michael Baumann, Jon Balserak, Luca Baschera, Maurice Boutin, Emidio Campi, John Patrick Donnelly SJ, Max Engammare, Gerald Hobbs, Frank James III, Gary Jenkins, Robert Kingdon, Torrance Kirby, William Klempa, Joseph McLelland, Charlotte Methuen, Christian Moser, David Neelands, Peter Opitz, Herman Selderhuis, Daniel Shute, David Wright, and Jason Zuidema.

Book Synopsis Shifting Patterns of Reformed Tradition by : Emidio Campi
Download or read book Shifting Patterns of Reformed Tradition written by Emidio Campi and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thirteen essays in this volume were all originally presented at international conferences or in public lectures.They address three main areas of inquiry, all of which, in one way or another, are of key importance in early modern historical discourse and theological thinking: (1) the theological diversity and debates within the Reformed tradition in the sixteenth century and beyond; (2) Peter Martyr Vermigli's noteworthy contribution to Reformed ecclesiology and biblical exegesis; and (3) the later development and enrichment of Reformed thought on both sides of the Atlantic. They show that the Reformed tradition was neither monolithic, nor monochrome, nor immutable, but evolved in different, if interrelated, patterns and directions.
Book Synopsis The Eucharistic Debate in Tudor England by : Amanda Wrenn Allen
Download or read book The Eucharistic Debate in Tudor England written by Amanda Wrenn Allen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1550–51, English Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer engaged in a debate with Bishop Stephen Gardiner. Archbishop Cranmer was asserting a new Reformed view for England's Eucharist theology, but he faced opposition from England's leading traditional theologian, Gardiner. Gardiner remained faithful to the traditional doctrine of transubstantiation, while Cranmer was formulating a Spiritual Presence theology. This book analyzes the debate, asking how both Cranmer and Gardiner arrived at opposing theologies despite being involved similarly in English religion and politics. To answer the question, the book examines each author's use of scripture, continental Reformers, and early Church Fathers. The book also argues that the personal and political context surrounding the two men shaped the nature of the theological debate. While trying to push Edward VI's England toward greater Reformation, Cranmer faced continued opposition from Gardiner who was imprisoned throughout Edward's reign. Gardiner sought release from prison and a return to authority, while Cranmer sought validation for his new theology and its associated legislation. To counter Gardiner's challenge, Cranmer had to create a clear Eucharistic theology. This political and personal climate therefore forced Cranmer to create England's Spiritual Presence theology by 1552 that was adopted in the 1558 Elizabethan Settlement and Anglican Church. It was this debate that set Anglicanism for England.
Download or read book Life in Christ written by Mark A. Garcia and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In three wide-ranging case studies Mark A. Garcia offers a comprehensive yet focused analysis of the centrality of union with Christ in Calvin's thought. It explains not only the distinctive nature of Calvin's response to Rome on justification, but why this response must be carefully distinguished from that of his Lutheran counterparts. The fruit of these investigations is the first extensive demonstration that Calvin's exposition of union with Christ in relating justification and sanctification points to an emerging Reformed theology of justification that diverges from the Lutheran tradition. Calvin's exegetical and theological model of union with Christ accents the importance in the early Reformed tradition of the relationship between Christology and salvation.

Book Synopsis The University of Oxford by : G.R. Evans
Download or read book The University of Oxford written by G.R. Evans and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04-30 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The University of Oxford was a medieval wonder. After its foundation in the late 12th century it made a crucial contribution to the core syllabus of all medieval universities - the study of the liberal arts law, medicine and theology - and attracted teachers of international calibre and fame. The ideas of brilliant thinkers like innovative translator of Greek Robert Grosseteste, pioneering philosopher Roger Bacon and reforming Christian humanist John Colet redirected traditional scholasticism and helped usher in the Renaissance. In her concise and much-praised new history, G R Evans reveals a powerhouse of learning and culture. Over a span of more than 800 years Oxford has nurtured some of the greatest minds, while right across the globe its name is synonymous with educational excellence. From dangerous political upheavals caused by the radical and inflammatory ideas of John Wyclif to the bloody 1555 martyrdoms of Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley; and from John Ruskin's innovative lectures on art and explosive public debate between Charles Darwin and his opponents to gentler meetings of C. S. Lewis, J. R. R.Tolkien and the Inklings in the 'Bird and Baby', Evans brings Oxford's revolutionary events, as well as its remarkable intellectual journey, to vivid and sparkling life.
Book Synopsis The Italian Reformers and the Zurich Church, c.1540-1620 by : Mark Taplin
Download or read book The Italian Reformers and the Zurich Church, c.1540-1620 written by Mark Taplin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently scholars have become increasingly aware of Zurich's role as an intellectual and cultural centre of the European Reformation. This study focuses on a little-known aspect of the Zurich church's international activity: its relationship with Italian-speaking evangelicals during the period 1540-1620. The work assesses the importance of Zwinglian influences within the early Italian evangelical movement and Zurich's contribution to the spread of the Reformation in Italian-speaking territories such as Locarno and southern Graubünden. It shows how, following the establishment of the Roman Inquisition in July 1542, senior Zurich churchmen emerged as important points of contact for Italian reformers in exile. A central concern of the study is the threat to the integrity of the Zwinglian settlement posed by religious radicals within the Italian exile community. Although the radicals were relatively few in number, their activities had a profound influence on the way in which the community as a whole came to be perceived by the Swiss and other Reformed churches. In Zurich, the turning point was a series of doctrinal disputes during the mid-sixteenth century, which culminated in the dissolution of the city's Italian church in November 1563. The alliance forged in the course of those disputes between the leadership of the Zurich church and theologically conservative Italian exiles became the basis for close co-operation in subsequent decades. Drawing heavily on unpublished sources from Swiss archives, the volume sheds light on the processes by which the boundaries of Reformed orthodoxy came to be defined. In particular, it demonstrates the importance of theological controversy and polemic as catalysts for the systematisation of doctrine during this period.

Book Synopsis Jeremiah's New Covenant by : Joshua N. Moon
Download or read book Jeremiah's New Covenant written by Joshua N. Moon and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2011-06-23 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The struggle to read Jeremiah 31:31–34 as Christian Scripture has a long and divided history, cutting across nearly every major locus of Christian theology. Yet little has been done either to examine closely the varieties of interpretation in the Christian tradition from the post-Nicene period to the modern era, or to make use of such interpretations as helpful interlocutors. This work begins with Augustine’s interpretation of Jer 31:31–34 as an absolute contrast between unbelief and faith, rather than the now-standard reading (found in Jerome) of a contrast between two successive religio-historical eras—one that governed Israel (the “old covenant”) and a new era and its covenant inaugurated in the coming of Christ. Augustine’s absolute contrast loosened the strict temporal concern, so that the faithful of any era were members of the “new covenant.” The study traces Augustine’s reading of an absolute contrast in a few key moments of Christian interpretation: Thomas Aquinas and high medieval theology, then the 16th and 17th century Reformed tradition. The thesis aims at a constructive reading of Jer 31:31–34, and so the struggle identified in these moments in the Christian tradition is brought into dialogue with modern critical discussions from Bernhard Duhm to the present. Finally, the author turns to an exegetical argument for an ‘Augustinian’ reading of the contrast of the covenants.

Book Synopsis Richard Smyth and the Language of Orthodoxy: Re-imagining Tudor Catholic Polemicism by : J.Andreas Löwe
Download or read book Richard Smyth and the Language of Orthodoxy: Re-imagining Tudor Catholic Polemicism written by J.Andreas Löwe and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Tudor struggle for Reformation and Catholic Reformation, for power and for souls, Richard Smyth, theologian and educator, refined the art of polemicism to fight against the advance of heresy at home and abroad, both in the lingua franca of academic circles and the language of his own people. A much neglected voice today, Smyth spoke passionately and influentially on justification, monastic vows, and the Eucharist. He clashed with leading reformers such as Bucer, Cranmer, Jewel and Vermigli in verbal debates and in print. New evidence from Douai shows how he trained and equipped a younger generation to continue the fight. A fascinating and enlightening work for the interested layperson and the expert alike, Dr. Loewe’s scholarly and readable study dissects catholic reactions to the religious upheaval in England during the reigns of three successive Tudor monarchs.
