Book Synopsis The Judaizing Calvin by : G. Sujin Pak
Download or read book The Judaizing Calvin written by G. Sujin Pak and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By exploring how Martin Luther, Martin Bucer, and John Calvin interpreted a set of eight messianic psalms (Psalms 2, 8, 16, 22, 45, 72, 110, 188), Sujin Pak elucidates key debates about Christological exegesis during the era of the Protestant reformation. More particularly, Pak examines the exegeses of Luther, Bucer, and Calvin in order to (a) reveal their particular theological emphases and reading strategies, (b) identify their debates over the use of Jewish exegesis and the factors leading to charges of 'judaizing' leveled against Calvin, and (c) demonstrate how Psalms reading and the accusation of judaizing serve distinctive purposes of confessional identity formation. In this way, she portrays the beginnings of those distinctive trends that separated Lutheran and Reformed exegetical principles.

Book Synopsis John Calvin in Context by : R. Ward Holder
Download or read book John Calvin in Context written by R. Ward Holder and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Calvin in Context offers a comprehensive overview of Calvin's world. Including essays from social, cultural, feminist, and intellectual historians, each specially commissioned for this volume, the book considers the various early modern contexts in which Calvin worked and wrote. It captures his concerns for Northern humanism, his deep involvement in the politics of Geneva, his relationships with contemporaries, and the polemic necessities of responding to developments in Rome and other Protestant sects, notably Lutheran and Anabaptist. The volume also explores Calvin's tasks as a pastor and doctor of the church, who was constantly explicating the text of scripture and applying it to the context of sixteenth-century Geneva, as well as the reception of his role in the Reformation and beyond. Demonstrating the complexity of the world in which Calvin lived, John Calvin in Context serves as an essential research tool for scholars and students of early modern Europe.

Book Synopsis John Calvin and the Jews by : Jack Hughes Robinson
Download or read book John Calvin and the Jews written by Jack Hughes Robinson and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1992 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to evaluate the impact of Calvin's teachings on modern Reformed theology regarding the Jews, examines not only Calvin's criticism of Jews (sometimes couched in very harsh words), but his theology in general which may shed light on his stance on this issue. Calvin's writings show that he saw the Old and the New Testaments as an essential unity, he believed that God did not reject His people, that the Jewish Law was still valid, and that salvation was still open to the Jews. His criticism of the Jews concerned the Jews' strict reliance on their physical descent from Abraham, their dependence upon works of the Law for salvation, and their rejection of Jesus as the Messiah. The Reformed Church adopted Calvin's conception of the single covenant, but have not overcome his supersessionism. Calls for the formulation of a comprehensive doctrine on the Jews which does justice to the Reformed tradition and avoids the pitfalls of anti-Judaism.
Book Synopsis Amsterdam's People of the Book by : Benjamin E. Fisher
Download or read book Amsterdam's People of the Book written by Benjamin E. Fisher and published by Hebrew Union College Press. This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish and Portuguese Jews of seventeenth-century Amsterdam cultivated a remarkable culture centered on the Bible. School children studied the Bible systematically, while rabbinic literature was pushed to levels reached by few students; adults met in confraternities to study Scripture; and families listened to Scripture-based sermons in synagogue, and to help pass the long, cold winter nights of northwest Europe. The community's rabbis produced creative, and often unprecedented scholarship on the Jewish Bible as well as the New Testament. Amsterdam's People of the Book shows that this unique, Bible-centered culture resulted from the confluence of the Jewish community's Catholic and converso past with the Protestant world in which they came to live. Studying Amsterdam's Jews offers an early window into the prioritization of the Bible over rabbinic literature -- a trend that continues through modernity in western Europe. It allows us to see how Amsterdam's rabbis experimented with new historical methods for understanding the Bible, and how they grappled with doubts about the authority and truth of the Bible that were growing in the world around them. Amsterdam's People of the Book allows us to appreciate how Benedict Spinoza's ideas were in fact shaped by the approaches to reading the Bible in the community where he was born, raised, and educated. After all, as Spinoza himself remarked, before becoming Amsterdam's most famous heretic and one of Europe's leading philosophers and biblical critics, he was "steeped in the common beliefs about the Bible from childhood on."

Book Synopsis The Jews and the Reformation by : Kenneth Austin
Download or read book The Jews and the Reformation written by Kenneth Austin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive account of Protestant and Catholic attitudes toward Jews and Judaism in the European Reformation In this rich, wide-ranging, and meticulously researched account, Kenneth Austin examines the attitudes of various Christian groups in the Protestant and Catholic Reformations towards Jews, the Hebrew language, and Jewish learning. Martin Luther’s writings are notorious, but Reformation attitudes were much more varied and nuanced than these might lead us to believe. This book has much to tell us about the Reformation and its priorities—and has important implications for how we think about religious pluralism more broadly.
Book Synopsis Theology of John Calvin by : Karl Barth

In the process, Barth examines and evaluates the early theological writings of Calvin, especially the first edition of the Institutes.
Book Synopsis "Neither the Spirit without the Flesh" by : Steven W. Tyra
Download or read book "Neither the Spirit without the Flesh" written by Steven W. Tyra and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-22 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book claims that John Calvin developed Greek doctrines of the interim state of souls, resurrection, and beatific vision through his reading of ancient Christian sources like Irenaeus of Lyons. Greek had been a technical term in Western theology since at least the 12th century to denote heterodox eschatology. Thomas Aquinas had employed it in that sense, and early modern Catholics like Robert Bellarmine and Pierre Coton in turn applied it to Calvin. The book demonstrates that, in this respect at least, Calvin's opponents were correct: he was a Greek. However, it questions whether that fact should lead modern theologians to dismiss him as a resource for contemporary reflection. Calvin's deep respect for and continuity with early Christian voices may serve as a positive model for theologians today, particularly in the Reformed tradition. By the same token, Reformed thinkers who seek inspiration from medieval scholasticism may find their relationship to Calvin complicated by the case presented here.

Download or read book Of One Tree written by Wulfert de Greef and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first work to examine Calvin's understanding of the relationship between Jews and Christians at such a fundamental level. After an overview of the status of Jews in Europe during the late Middle Ages and the interest at that time in the knowledge of Hebrew and Judaism, the author turns specifically to Calvin and his interpretation of the Bible. Several important questions are addressed: How did Calvin understand the relationship between Jews and Christians? Have Christians taken the place of the Jews, or do they belong to the Jews because they are included in the relationship between God and Israel? What does Calvin have to say about the future of the Jews? The author concludes that Calvin's view of the relationship between Jews and Christians is closely tied to his view of the unity of the Old and New Testaments.
Book Synopsis Nicodemism and the English Calvin, 1544–1584 by : Kenneth J. Woo
Download or read book Nicodemism and the English Calvin, 1544–1584 written by Kenneth J. Woo and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-08-12 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Nicodemism and the English Calvin Kenneth J. Woo reassesses John Calvin's decades-long attack against Nicodemism, which Calvin described as evangelicals playing Catholic to avoid hardship or persecution. Frequently portrayed as a static argument varying little over time, the reformer's anti-Nicodemite polemic actually was adapted to shifting contexts and diverse audiences. Calvin's strategic approach to Nicodemism was not lost on readers, influencing its reception in England. Quatre sermons (1552) presents Calvin's anti-Nicodemism in the only sermons he personally prepared for publication. By setting this work in its original context and examining its reception in five sixteenth-century English editions, Woo demonstrates how Calvin and others deployed his rhetoric against Nicodemism to address concerns having little to do with religious dissimulation.
