Lavaters Rezeption von Spaldings "Ueber die Nutzbarkeit des Predigtamtes" und Herders "An Prediger" in seiner Predigtreihe zur Apokalypse
No full textAfter Joachim Spalding\u27s oeuvre, "Ueber die Nutzbarkeit des Predigtamtes" was published in 1722, Johann Caspar Lavater challenged Spalding\u27s view of the duties and benefits of the clerical minister. Above all, Lavater criticized Spalding’s focus on the moral aspects of religion, arguing that Spalding failed to concentrate on the true center – Christ and all Christian dogma. Lavater felt that Johann Gottfried Herder had furnished a better interpretation of ministerial responsibilities in "An Prediger. Funfzehn Provinzialblätter" (1774). Intrigued by Herder\u27s proclamation of the evangelical Christ, Lavater thought that he had found support for his own Christianity in Herder. His assumption was destroyed by Herder’s work on the Apocalypse in "Maran Atha" (1779). In accordance, Lavater in his sermons about the Book of Revelation sought to provide an example, not only of how to understand the last book of the New Testament, but also by emphasizing where a minister should focus his attention in order to function as a prophet of the evangelical Jesus
Briefe an Heinrich Bullinger im Blick auf Entstehung, Abfassung und Rezeption der "Confessio Raetica" (1552/53)
No full textThe Raetian Confession of 1552/53 took shape during the Reformation in the context of Italian emigration to Grisons. The synod was obliged to write a binding order due to debates with the Italian non-conformists. Philipp Gallicius regularly consulted Heinrich Bullinger as he wrote the order. A hitherto forgotten letter from Gallicius to Heinrich Bullinger that is occasionally even considered to be fictitious, in addition to other important letters written between 1522 and 1552, shed new light on the formation, writing, and reception of the Raetian Confession, and challenges previous research conclusions
"Von dem Amt eines verordneten Decani": Einblicke in die Geschichte des Dekanenamtes in der Evangelisch-reformierten Landeskirche des Kantons Zürich
No full textFrom 1532 until the end of the Ancien Re´gime, deans in the Zurich church were accorded prominent leadership competencies as compared to their colleagues. Shared responsibility had always been emphasized so that the deans functioned as role models and held the position of primus inter pares. Notwithstanding, from the times of Heinrich Bullinger and through the synod with its Zensur, they were provided with instruments of leadership, including supervision and visitation, and served the Zurich Church and state as disciplinary agents. Since the 19th century introduction of church oversight committees of the secondary level called Bezirkskirchenpflege, the increased organizational autonomy of the parishes, and the reorganization of the synod, deans were progressively released from leadership responsibilities.From 1532 until the end of the Ancien Re´gime, deans in the Zurich church were accorded prominent leadership competencies as compared to their colleagues.

"Wider die unsinnigen Wiedertäufer": Ein unbekanntes Briefgedicht von Jörg Syz an Hans Brennwald (um 1527)
No full textThe Johann Jakob Simler collection at the Zurich Zentralbibliothek contains a document against Anabaptism that is virtually unknown to modern Reformation history research. The undated poem was by Jörg Syz, who was a former chaplain at the Zurich Fraumunster. The poem provides moral endorsement to its recipient, the pastor Hans Brennwald, who debated with the Anabaptists in Hinwil 1525. The present article addresses the beginnings of the Anabaptist movement in the region of Gruningen on the basis of primary sources and provides an edition of the rediscovered poem
