Abstract

A Companion to the Swiss Reformation describes the course of the Protestant Reformation in the Swiss Confederation over the course of the sixteenth century. Its essays examine the successes as well as the failures of the reformation movement, considering not only the institutional churches but also the spread of Anabaptism. The volume highlights the different form that the Reformation took among the members of the Confederation and its allied territories, and it describes the political, social and cultural consequences of the Reformation for the Confederation as a whole. Contributors are: Irena Backus, Jan-Andrea Bernhard, Amy Nelson Burnett, Michael W. Bruening, Erich Bryner, Emidio Campi, Bruce Gordon, Kaspar von Greyerz, Sundar Henny, Karin Maag, Thomas Maissen, Regula Schmid-Keeling, Martin Sallmann, and Andrea Strübind.

Abstract

The nature and role of positive law has largely been neglected in recent Protestant theology and social ethics. Modern Protestantism and Positive Law introduces and critically summarizes a tradition in Continental Protestant thought about human law, drawing on writings of Barth, Brunner, Ellul, Thielicke, Wolf, Pannenberg, Huber, and Kreβ, many of which have not been translated into English. The book argues that law is an essential political and social institution within developed societies, one that is normative and dependent on an encompassing vision of justice but that also necessarily reflects the contemporary pluralism of those societies. Modern Protestantism and Positive Law argues that theological and ethical perspectives on positive law developed by Protestant thinkers have a place in reflection on positive law, provided they are conceived and expressed in a manner appropriately respectful of the diversity of contemporary opinion regarding the expression of religious perspectives in the public arena.

Abstract

"Geistliche auf grenzüberschreitender Mission: Die geistliche Elite Zürichs als außenpolitischer Akteur in diplomatie- und konfessionsgeschichtlicher Perspektive. Im Zürich des 17. Jahrhunderts genoss die reformierte Stadtgeistlichkeit weitreichende politische Mitspracherechte. Insbesondere während Phasen der Annäherung zwischen Zürich und protestantischen Mächten nahmen etliche Mitglieder der geistlichen Elite Einfluss auf die außenpolitischen Geschäfte: Sie nutzten ihre theologischen Kontakte in ganz Europa als Informationsnetzwerke, leisteten handfeste Unterstützung für fremde Diplomaten in der Eidgenossenschaft, wirkten mittels Predigten und Petitionen auf die Meinungsbildung in Zürich ein und standen ihrer Obrigkeit - dem Zürcher Rat - als Gesandte, Berater, Übersetzer und Informanten zur Seite. Sarah Rindlisbacher Thomi widmet sich dieser bisher wenig beachteten Verflechtung von Religion und Außenpolitik. Sie macht anhand von sechs Detailstudien das diplomatische Agieren von einzelnen Stadtgeistlichen sichtbar, das stets in Zeiten des intensiven Austauschs zwischen Zürich und fremden Mächten fiel, darunter protestantische Reichsfürsten, die Niederlande, England und Schweden. In einer Kombination von diplomatie-, kultur- und kirchengeschichtlichen Ansätzen beleuchtet die Studie Praktiken, Argumentationen und Logiken des grenzüberschreitenden Austauschs im konfessionellen Zeitalter".

Luther provides a clear exposition of the state of German politics on the eve of the Reformation. Dr Mullett concentrates particularly on the evolution of Luther's thought and its central preoccupation with re-aligning the church's theology with that of the New Testament.

Abstract

This Special Issue will publish articles based on papers presented at the Teaching the Christian Intellectual Tradition Conference held at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, on October 6-8, 2016. The conference theme, Teaching the Reformations, explored pedagogical methods for integrating the study of the Reformations into undergraduate curricula, particularly but not exclusively into core curriculum and general education courses. The pedagogical focus of Teaching the Reformations will extend to the Special Issue and will differentiate this issue in the vast field of Reformation studies.

Abstract

Christians today will find new cause to rejoice in what God did in the sixteenth century through weak and fallible men and women. His people sought to submit themselves to the Word of God and lead his followers in a godly and faithful response to the gospel of grace. The Reformation is not a dead movement but a living legacy that can still capture the imagination and encourage men and women in their own Christian discipleship.

Abstract

In a church rocked by controversies over vernacular Scripture, iconoclasm, and the power of clergy, men and women arose in protest. Today we call this protest movement the Protestant Reformation. At its heart, the Reformation was a great revival of the church centered on the recovery of biblical truth and the gospel of free grace. This movement continues to instruct and inspire believers even into the present day. Reformation 500 celebrates the Reformation and probes the ways it has shaped our world for the better. With essays from an array of disciplines, this book explores the impact of the Reformation across a wide range of human experience. Literature, education, visual art, culture, politics, music, theology, church life, and Baptist history all provide prisms through which the Reformation legacy is viewed. From Augustine to Zwingli, historical figures like Luther, Calvin, Barth, Bonhoeffer, Rembrandt, Bach, Bunyan, and Wycliffe all find their way into this amazing 500-year story. From Anglicans to Baptists, scientists to poets, Reformation 500 weaves these many historical threads into a modern-day tapestry. - Publisher.

Abstract

Auch der Umgang der Historiker mit der deutschen Reformation des frühen 16. Jahrhunderts kennt Konjunkturen. Aus dem Tal des Desinteresses, in das die Forschung sie zwischen 1918 und 1960 hat fallen lassen, ist sie strahlend wieder auferstanden. Längst nicht mehr das epochemachende Ereignis in der Geschichte der deutschen Nation, als das Ranke sie ein- und zugeordnet hatte, wird die Reformation heute zwischen Spätmittelalter und Frühmoderne verortet und bewusst in das europäische Beziehungsgeflecht eingebunden. Nichtsdestoweniger folgen die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes unterschiedlichen Deutungsansätzen, interpretieren die Reformation des 16. Jahrhunderts aus dem Geist des 14. und vor allem des langen 15. Jahrhunderts, setzen sie in Bezug zum Wandel fürstlicher Herrschaft und der Entwicklung kommunaler Eigenständigkeiten, der Krise bürgerlichen Wertedenkens und wirtschaftlicher Umbrüche. Theologische Neubestimmungen und kirchliche Verfallserscheinungen werden vor dem Hintergrund einer langfristigen individuellen und kollektiven Emanzipation diskutiert - wobei mit der Betonung eines derartigen prozessualen historischen Kontinuums eine Änderung der Sprachregelung einhergeht, die die Reformation zu einer Reformation werden lässt.

Abstract

For the first time, this monograph examines Luther’s heirs, the pastors of the next generation. They were responsible for the survival of the Reformation, yet they always remained in the shadows of their great predecessor. How did they obtain their ministries? How did they live? How did they manage to rescue the Lutheran church enterprise despite massive internal quarreling in an epoch marked by perpetual war and crisis? Luthers Erben der dritten Generation, die Pastoren des 17. Jahrhunderts, sicherten die Reformation in einer Epoche des Krieges, der Krisen und Umbrüche. Dennoch stehen sie bis heute im Schatten ihres großen Vorgängers. Wie sahen sie sich selbst, was befähigte sie zu ihrer Leistung, und welche Anpassungen an ihre Welt nahmen sie vor? Erst die Kenntnis dieser ebenso faszinierenden wie ernüchternden Vorgänge macht die Entwicklung des Luthertums bis zur Gegenwart verständlich.
