Focusing upon the extraordinary circumstances of the production of the editio princeps of the Syriac New Testament in 1555 and establishing a reliable history of that edition, this book offers an new account of the origin of Syriac studies in Europe and a fresh evaluation of Catholic Orientalism in the sixteenth century. The reception of Syriac into the West is shown to have been characterised, under the influence of Egidio da Viterbo and Postel, by a Christian Kabbalistic world-view which also determined the reception of other Oriental languages. The companion volume The Kabbalistic Scholars of the Antwerp Polyglot Bible exhibits the continuing influence of Christian Kabbalism on later editions.

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.

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.

Adopting an international perspective, the essays in this volume look at the motives, methods and impact of enforcing the Protestant Reformation in Ireland and Scotland. The volume offers a fascinating insight into how the political authorities in Scotland and Ireland attempted, with varying degrees of success, to impose Protestantism on their countries. By comparing the two situations and placing them in the wider international picture, our understanding of European confessionalization is further enhanced.
