Abstract

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.

Abstract

Calvin's 1559 Institutes is one of the most important works of theology that emerged at a pivotal time in Europe's history. As a movement, Calvinism has often been linked to the emerging features of modernity, especially to capitalism, rationalism, disenchantment, and the formation of the modern sovereign state. In this book, Michelle Sanchez argues that a closer reading of the 1559 Institutes recalls some of the tensions that marked Calvinism's emergence among refugees, and ultimately opens new ways to understand the more complex ethical and political legacy of Calvinism. In conversation with theorists of practice and signification, she advocates for reading the Institutes as a pedagogical text that places the reader in the world as the domain in which to actively pursue the 'knowledge of God and ourselves' through participatory uses of divine revelation. Through this lens, she reconceives Calvin's understanding of sovereignty and how it works in relation to the embodied reader. Sanchez also critically examines Calvin's teaching on providence and the incarnation in conversation with theorists of political theology and modernity who emphasize the importance of those very doctrines.

Abstract

La 4e de couverture indique :"Face aux périls du temps des dictatures, Zweig fait d'Erasme son modèle. L'amour des lettres et de l'art, le commerce civil des esprits, le dialogue persévérant dessinent l'espace d'une tolérance où inscrire idéalement le présent. Le moderne qu'est Zweig met à contribution la psychologie de même que l'anatomie et la généalogie des systèmes. Identifiant dans la théocratie instaurée par Calvin à Genève la matrice des totalitarismes - la Terreur, le communisme soviétique, la dictature raciste -, il défend avec véhémence les valeurs morales. La plume sera sa seule arme. Refusant, ce qu'on lui reprocha vivement, l'engagement militant, il fuit l'Allemagne puis l'Europe avant de se donner la mort au Brésil. Pour lui cependant, le cours des choses n'est pas déterminé une fois pour toutes. Il est fait de retournements inattendus."

Abstract

Après les 193 leçons sur le livre du prophète Jérémie (cf. Calvini opera denuo recognita, Series Exegetica 6a et 6b, 2016), Calvin paracheva son explication du prophète avec dix-huit leçons sur les Lamentationes de septembre 1562 à janvier 1563. Les Lamentations s'inscrivent dans l'une des traditions poétiques des qînoth, les complaintes qui concernent le gouvernement politique. Calvin s'attache à en donner une interprétation morale et actualisante. Les sources et les principes exégétiques du Réformateur restent les mêmes, mais la double introduction, au texte latin et au texte français, les rappelle. L'édition est en effet juxtalinéaire avec en vis-à-vis la traduction modernisée et commentée de Charles de Jonviller. Deux index des noms de personnes et des citations bibliques complètent l'édition.

Abstract

Early modernity is characterized by intensified and in-depth Christianization processes and the development of various models for religious subjectivity. Experiences of anxiety, despair and abandonment often play a central role in the religious literature and practices, notably in a protestant context in which there are intense debates on the place and value of such experiences in religious life. What is the relation between faith and despair? Can one distinguish spiritual despair from melancholia? What is the role played by the doctrine of predestination in faith practices that include despair and desire?

Abstract

Sebastian Castellio's Contra libellum Calvini belongs – together with the De haereticis, an sint persequendi – to his most important contribution to the toleration controversy that began after the Spaniard Michael Servetus was arrested and burnt at the stake in Geneva for heresy. Castellio wrote this work in the summer 1554 in Basle as an answer to Calvin’s Defensio orthodoxae fidei. It was written as a dialogue between Calvin and "Vaticanus" (Castellio). In this work we get to know the Basle humanist as an angry, passionate debater who attacks Calvin's faults and weaknesses, his theology and activity in Geneva with arguments full of irony and biting scorn. Here we find the famous sentence "to kill a man is not to defend a doctrine, but is to kill a man". This work was first published in 1612 in the Netherlands by the humanist Reinier Telle. Uwe Plath’s critical edition is not only a reproduction of the Telle text, it also includes the text of the Basle Autograph- fragment and attempts to give a readable, error-free text, as close as possible to Castellio’s original.

Abstract

This book examines the dialogue between Roman Stoic ethics and the work of Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Jonathan Edwards. Elizabeth Agnew Cochran illuminates key theological convictions that provide a foundation for constructing a contemporary Protestant virtue ethic consistent with a number of theological beliefs characteristic of the historical Reformed tradition. Building on this conversation, this book develops the claims that faith holds a unique value among possible moral goods; virtue has a unity that coincides with a soteriology that conceives justification as radically transforming a Christian from a sinner to one who is righteous before God; and moral responsibility is realized through a dispositional consent to God's loving providence.
