Einheit im Glauben unter Suprematie des eigenen Dogmas oder Glaubensfreiheit als Grundrecht?

The Republic of Venice was the only Catholic territory where an Anabaptist community was formed in the 16th century. On the basis of a large amount of archival material the author reconstructs the lives of the Anabaptists of the Republic and inquisitorial repression they suffered, and analyses the doctrinal specificities of the Radical Reformation of that territory. Riccarda Suitner presents the events within a broader comparative framework, with particular attention to the development of the Reformation in the German states, Switzerland, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Transylvania, Tyrol, and the Kingdom of Naples. The history at the heart of this book is one as yet little known in Reformation Studies: the history of Venetian Anabaptism.

Frances Luttikhuizen traces Constantino de la Fuente's religious experience from the Erasmian influence at Alcalá de Henares during his university days in the 1520s to being the main spokesperson for the evangelistic tendencies emerging in Spain in the 1550s. His theology shows strong parallels with the renovating current within the Catholic Church of the first half of the 15th century, which emphasised a genuine, personal religious experience, an "inner Christianity" that highlighted the doctrine of justification by faith and downplayed external rites and the invocation of saints. Constantino's sermons on Psalm 1-of which the first translation into English is appended-provides an example of both his preaching style and his theology. Update on biographical information on Constantino de la Fuente.

Martin Luther's Deuteronomy lectures first display a mature hermeneutic that defines his approach to the Hebrew Bible and underpins decisions pivotal to his leadership as a reformer.

Ohne Augustinus gäbe es die Theologien der Reformationszeit vermutlich nicht!

At the Synod of Dordrecht, the deep questions of justification and faith, election and rejection, time and eternity, grace and free will, the individual and the body of Christ, Israel and the church, the acquisition of salvation through Christ and its application by His Spirit, baptism and regeneration, and especially the precise relationship between these, were at stake. In this study lines are drawn to the historical, theological and political context during that period. Patristics, Middle Ages, metaphysical questions and the church polity of Dordt are discussed as well with some hermeneutical nowadays reflections. Examining a landmark - the importance of the Synod of Dordrecht
