In der «Schule göttlicher Weisheit»: Zu Heinrich Bullingers Horizontbestimmung der biblischen Exegese
No full textBullinger uses the term philosophia Christi in the prefaces to his Commentary on 1 John and the collected edition of his commentaries on the New Testament epistles to describe what his readers should expect to learn from the Bible. This article first explores Bullinger’s use of the term ‘philosophy of Christ’ in the corpus of his commentaries. Next, it sketches the development of the term from its origin in the patristic period up to the time of Dutch humanist Erasmus in the early modern period. A consideration of the multifaceted influence Erasmus and his understanding of philosophia Christi exerted on Bullinger and, more broadly, on the Zurich Reformed milieu concludes the discussion.Bullinger uses the term philosophia Christi in the prefaces to his Commentary on 1 John and the collected edition of his commentaries on the New Testament epistles to describe what his readers should expect to learn from the Bible.

Mit Liebe und Sanftmut eines Besseren belehren: Die lange Reformation als anhaltende Krise der Autorität
No full textThis article examines the conflict between Antoine Lescaille and the two pastors Léonard Constant and Jacques Couet of the French church of Basel. In 1590, Lescaille criticized the pastors’ teachings on the doctrine of justification. He expected to be properly instructed on his alleged errors and mistakes subsequently, however, the pastors insisted that as a layman he could not truly understand the complexity of the subject to begin with. Rather than exhaustively explain the theological doctrine of the Justification, the pastors approached Lescaille with «love and humility,» hoping this would help restore his trust in the French church and the pastors’ teachings. By examining this conflict and the French church’s strategies to handle Lescaille, this article illuminates how the long Reformation was driven by a clerical institutionalization of the Protestant church by the end of the 16th century, and how the long Reformation must be understood as an ongoing crisis of authority.This article examines the conflict between Antoine Lescaille and the two pastors Léonard Constant and Jacques Couet of the French church of Basel.

Hübsch, keusch und fruchtbar: Theologie der Ehe, Geschlechterrollen und Frauenbildung in volkssprachlichen Eheschriften des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts – Ein Vergleich der Ehetraktate von Albrecht von Eyb, Martin Luther und Heinrich Bullinger
No full textThe implications of the Reformation on the roles of women in marriage and society, as well as the education of women, are currently diversely discussed. In this essay, three different vernacular theological texts are portrayed and compared. Those printed texts address married life and are written during the early modern era by men to the mixed-sex audience. During the early modern era, the Reformation brought changes to the legal and social order of marriage. Albrecht von Eyb’s Ehebüchlein from 1472 was a popular tract in its time and stands exemplary for a pre-Reformation view on marriage, gender roles, and the education of women. It is compared to Martin Luther’s Vom ehelichen Leben, one of Luther’s early writings on matrimony, written in the midst of the Reformation endeavors in 1522. The third text chosen for comparison is the tract Christlich Eestand, which was written by the reformed theologian Heinrich Bullinger in 1540, during the time when the new Ehegericht (marriage court) in Zürich has been established for fifteen years. The tract therefore stands exemplary for the consolidation period of the Reformation. The three tracts are compared in a chronological order along the contextual topics: institution of marriage in paradise, sexual ethics, fertility, Ehezwecklehre (the ends of marriage), the ideal man and woman, gender roles in marriage, and women’s education. The high regard the three authors hold for married life is rooted in the biblical story of the creation of Adam and Eve. In the area of marriage theology, gender roles and women’s education, too, there are (early modern) similarities, but also major and minor differences. Furthermore, the ideals of man and woman, sexual ethics, gender roles in marriage, and women’s education partly dependent (on the) different marriage theologies of Albrecht von Eyb, Martin Luther, and Heinrich Bullinger.The implications of the Reformation on the roles of women in marriage and society, as well as the education of women, are currently diversely discussed.

Bullinger und Melanchthon in ihren Briefen: Einige Beobachtungen zu Potentialen kirchenhistorischer Arbeit mit Briefwechseln
No full textThe correspondence between Heinrich Bullinger and Philip Melanchthon, this essay argues, offers important insights into the relationship between these two reformers as well as into the relations between the two centers of the reformation they represent. As the author takes into account the enduring character of this correspondence as well as its contents, he suggests that the letters between Bullinger and Melanchthon not only showcase Zurich’s continuous importance for protestant estates and theologians in the Holy Roman Empire, but also call for a re-examination of the processes of the reception of reformation thought.The correspondence between Heinrich Bullinger and Philip Melanchthon, this essay argues, offers important insights into the relationship between these two reformers as well as into the relations between the two centers of the reformation they represent.
