Abstract

Die frühe christliche Kirche entwickelte sich durch die Auseinandersetzung mit ihrer Umwelt zu ihrer spezifischen Eigenart. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Auseinandersetzung zwischen Celsus und Origines, Irenäus und den Gnostikern (unter Heranziehung wichtiger Nag Hammadi-Texte) sowie Plotin und den Gnostikern. Wesentliche Berührungspunkte zwischen platonischer Philosophie und christlicher Theologie werden neu aufgezeigt - zugleich aber auch unüberwindbare Schranken. Erstaunlich und tragisch ist vor allem das Missverständnis zwischen Irenäus und christlichen Gnostikern, deren Anregungen der Kirche verloren gehen. Die Untersuchung ist ein quellenfundierter Beitrag zur Entstehung der frühen Kirche, der sich durch seine Kenntnis der Alten Welt auszeichnet. This study examines the controversy between Celsus and Origen, between Irenaeus and the Gnostics (with reference to important Naghammadi texts) and between Plotinus and the Gnostics. Substantial points of contact between Platonic philosophy and Christian theology are shown as well as the insurmountable barriers between them. Of particular surprise and tragedy is above all the misunderstanding between Irenaeus and the Gnostics, whose initiatives were thus lost for the Church. The study is a source-based contribution to the genesis of the early Church and is distinguished by its knowledge of the Ancient World.

Abstract

Although much of Protestant Reformation history focuses on movements in Germany, Switzerland, and France, during the sixteenth century the Netherlands was the site of some of the earliest instances of pre-Reformation religious dissent. During the 1520s, no "figurehead" led the movement in the Netherlands; instead, six theological tracts by six individual scholars voiced religious dissent. These dissenting theological ideas were based on either Northern Renaissance or biblical humanist scholarship--most notably Erasmus--or the writing and monastic students of Martin Luther. These tracts emphasized the need for renewed biblical study, spiritual rather than literal interpretations of the medieval church's rituals, re-evaluation of the status quo, and a revised interpretation of the authority of the Bible. This period of inquiry and religious and social unrest was the foundation for impending changes in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. Using primary historical data from the trials of suspected heretics and the works of the aforementioned theologians, only one of which has appeared in English, this book is a study of the role of the Netherlands in the Protestant Reformation.

Abstract

The Enlightenment and religion: The myths of modernity offers a critical survey of religious change and its causes in eighteenth-century Europe, and constitutes a radical challenge to the accepted views in traditional Enlightenment studies. Focusing on Enlightenment Italy, France and England, it illustrates how the canonical view of eighteenth-century religious change has in reality been constructed upon scant evidence and assumption, in particular the idea that the thought of the enlightened led to modernity.

Abstract

The philosophical and theological ideas of John Wyclif, their dissemination among clerical and lay audiences, and the movement of religious dissent associated with his name all provoked sharp controversies in late medieval England. This volume brings together the very latest scholarship on Wyclif and Wycliffism, with its contributors exploring in interdisciplinary fashion the historical, literary, and theological resonances of the Wycliffite controversies. Far from adhering to the traditional binary divide between ‘orthodoxy’ and ‘heresy’ as a tool for explaining the religious turmoil of the late fourteenth, fifteenth, and early sixteenth centuries, essays here explore the construction and rhetorical use of those terms, collectively producing a more nuanced account of the religious history of pre-Reformation England. Topics include the use of religious lyrics and tables of lessons as indirect rebuttals of Wycliffite claims; the social networks through which dissenters transmitted their ideas; dissenting and mainstream readings of Scripture; the ‘survival’ of Wycliffism in the run-up to Henry VIII’s reformation; and the fate of Wyclif and Wycliffism in later historiography. Leading contributors include Anne Hudson, Alastair Minnis, and Peter Marshall.

Abstract

From the eleventh century onward, Latin Christendom was torn by discontent and controversy. As the Church and secular rulers defined more clearly than ever before the laws and institutions on which they based their power, they demanded greater uniformity and obedience to their authority. The essays in this book cast new light on the dynamics of repression, highlighting the controversies and discontent that troubled medieval society. Looking especially at the mechanisms underlying the dissemination of heterodoxy and its repression, the religious aspirations of women, the fate of non-Christian minorities in Europe, and changing boundaries between orthodoxy and heterodoxy, the authors provide a new understanding of the Church's response to the diversity of belief and practice by which it was confronted.
