Book excerpt: Self-serving lacky, self-deceiving puppet, Swiss Protestant partisan, or sensible Erasmian humanist: which, if any, was Thomas Cranmer? For centuries historians have offered often bitterly contradictory answers. Although Cranmer was a key participant in the changes to English life brought about by the Reformation, his reticent nature and lack of extensive personal writings have left a vacuum that in the past has too often been filled by scholarly prejudice or presumption. For the first time, however, this book examines in-depth little used manuscript sources to reconstruct Cranmer's theological development on the crucial Protestant doctrine of justification. The author explores Cranmer's cultural heritage, why he would have been attracted to Luther's thought, and then provides convincing evidence for the Reformed Protestant Augustinianism which Cranmer enshrined in the formularies of the Church of England. For Cranmer the glory of God was his love for the unworthy; the heart of theology was proclaiming this truth through word and sacrament. Hence, the focus of both was on the life of on-going repentance, remembering God's gracious love inspired grateful human love.

Book Synopsis Thomas Elyot: Critical Editions of Four Works on Counsel by : Robert G. Sullivan

Download or read book Thomas Elyot: Critical Editions of Four Works on Counsel written by Robert G. Sullivan. This book was released on 2018-05-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides the first modern scholarly editions of four works on the rhetoric of counsel by Sir Thomas Elyot (1490-1546), humanist scholar and advisor to Henry VIII of England. The Doctrinal of Princes, a translation of Isocrates’ To Nicocles, and probably the earliest English book translated directly from Greek into English, consists of a collection of aphorisms, all advising moderation, addressed to monarchs. Pasquill the Playne, the first English pasquinade, is a comic dialogue on the ethical challenges involved in counseling a prince. Of That Knowledge Which Maketh a Wise Man is a direct imitation of a Platonic dialogue, in which Plato’s confrontation with the Sicilian tyrant Dionysius is given dramatic form. A third dialogue, The Defense of Good Women, is the first printed English book that argues for the moral and political equality of women to men. Included in the volume are a general introduction to Elyot’s life and political career, extensive critical introductions to each of the texts, full recordings of the variations between printed editions, and substantive notes.

Book Synopsis Reformation Then and Now by : Christoph Ernst

Download or read book Reformation Then and Now written by Christoph Ernst. This book was released on 2016-10-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume documents the ninth theological conference of the Church of England and the Evangelical Church in Germany held in London in January 2016 as part of their Meissen process. The two churches are committed to engage within the Meissen process in joint theological work which, on this occasion, focused on similarities and differences of their respective reformatory origins. The twelve conference papers also paradigmatically discuss the consequential impact that reformation movements have for the churches, for ecumenism and the churches' socio-political responsibilities today. Reformatory origins and evolving tasks merge in light of the upcoming Reformation anniversary of 2017. Mit Beiträgen von Nicholas Baines, Richard Chartres, Carolyn Hammond, Margot Käßmann, Torrance Kirby, Jörg Lauster, Friederike Nüssel, Stephen Plant, Sigurd Rink, Gury Schneider-Ludorff, Elaine Storkey und Michael Weinrich. [Reformation damals und heute] Dieser Band dokumentiert die neunte Theologische Konferenz im Rahmen des Meißen-Prozesses der Kirche von England und der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland, die im Januar 2016 in London stattfand. Die theologische Arbeit, zu der sich beide Kirchen verpflichtet haben, konzentrierte sich bei dieser Konferenz zum einen auf die gemeinsamen und verschiedenen reformatorischen Wurzeln beider Kirchen. Zum anderen werden in den zwölf Konferenzbeiträgen vor dem Hintergrund des bevorstehenden Reformationsjubiläums im Jahr 2017 exemplarisch auch einige aus den jeweiligen Reformationen ableitbare Konsequenzen für die Kirchen, die Ökumene und die heutige gesellschaftspolitische Verantwortung der Kirchen erörtert.
