Zürcher Disputationsthesen bis 1653: Facetten einer Druckschriftengattung
No full textIn 1592, the Zurich church and the Academy adopted the debating of set theses as a form of instruction. Research into the history of ideas has recently repeatedly drawn on the printed sources generated by this pedagogic practice, generally known as "alte Dissertationen". This study is designed as a typological introduction. The material is classified according to the context in which the debate took place: church synod, examination, academic instruction (termed "Übungsdisputationen", practice disputations). Additional issues addressed include the quality and distribution of the extant material, the titles used, the sources’ usefulness for the study of specific individuals, and Greek loanwords. The final focus is on how the author is recorded in library catalogues, whether by thesis setter or thesis defender
Remembering Jerome and Forgetting Zwingli: The Zurich Latin Bible of 1543 and the Establishment of Heinrich Bullinger’s Church
No full textIn 1543 the Zurich reformers produced Latin translations of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha together with a revised edition of Erasmus\u27 New Testament. The Biblia sacrosancta was a beautiful volume, Froschauer’s finest work. The work on the Old Testament was primarily done by Leo Jud, though it was completed by Theodor Bibliander and Konrad Pellikan after his death in 1542. The translation, together with the textual apparati, and the extensive prefaces form the most complete expression of the theological and ecclesiastical vision of the Zurich church under Heinrich Bullinger. Printed twelve years after the death of Huldrych Zwingli, the Bible embodied the ideals of a restored church that had to turn its back on its fallen founder. Zwingli was never mentioned and the model for a new, proud, and confident church was St Jerome, represented in the figure of the translator Leo Jud. This essay explores the relationship between biblical interpretation, identity, and church building for the second generation of the Reformation

Die theosophische und pietistische Literatur der Gichtelianer im Kanton Zürich
No full textFrom 1814 Carl Joseph von Campagne lived in Pfäffikon, in canton Zurich, where he was responsible for the spread of the theosophy of Johann Georg Gichtel. His contribution resulted in the establishment of a community of several hundred "Gichtelians" (Gichtelianer) in the canton. In 1898 this community formed itself into a society called the "Friends of the late Herr von Campagne" (Freunde des seligen Herrn von Campagne). The literary estate of the society, which was dissolved in 2001, is now held by the Antiquarischen Gesellschaft Pfäffikon ZH and the Zentralbibliothek in Zurich. This article provides a list of the titles of the printed works in the collection and, additionally, offers an overview of the beginnings of the theosophical movement in Switzerland
The Understanding of the Church in Heinrich Bullinger\u27s Theology
No full textThe church is central to, but not the centre of Heinrich Bullinger\u27s theology. There is for him no salvation outside the church and salvation is itself ecclesial as well as personal. The article considers the main contexts in which Bullinger expounds his understanding of the church and the major areas of disagreement: scripture, salvation, unity, and catholicity with his Roman and Anabaptist opponents, but also holiness with Anabaptists. The issues involved in these areas differ according to the context, for example, with Roman opponents the authority of scripture over and against that of the church, but with Anabaptists the authority of the Old Testament alongside the New. In his exposition of the outward marks of the church, Bullinger mostly points to word and sacrament, through which Christ establishes the church, although the emphasis is on the word. He also mentions other marks, such as suffering. The inward marks are the Holy Spirit, faith, and love. Characteristically, Bullinger draws on a range of biblical passages in his exposition, including the various biblical images of the church, but with his Roman opponents he also adduces the support of the fathers
