Description
Historical theologians have commonly held that no close connection exists between the two major intellectual movements of the sixteenth century--Reformation and Calvinist Scholasticism. Recent scholarship, however, has brought to light a number of theological misconceptions and historical inaccuracies leading some researchers to claim that Calvinist Scholasticism is not a betrayal, but a continuation of the heritage of the Reformation. Reformation and Scholasticism brings together papers presented at a colloquium in May 1997 at Utrecht University by thirteen highly respected European and American church historians. These essays focus on both the backward-looking relationship between the Reformation and Medieval Scholasticism and the forward-looking relationship between the Reformation and Protestant Scholasticism. This collection of recent scholarship provides important considerations for scholars, students, and historians of the Reformation and the sixteen and seventeenth centuries.
About the Series The Texts and Studies in Reformation and Post-Reformation Thought series recognizes the need for careful, scholarly treatment of the Reformation and of the era of Protestant orthodoxy, seeking to present the varied and current approaches to Protestantism's rich heritage and to stimulate interest in the roots of the Protestant tradition. The series highlights revised understandings regarding the relationship of the Reformation and orthodoxy to their medieval background and of the thought of both eras to their historical, social, political, and cultural contexts.
