Emancipating Calvin: Culture and Confessional Identity in Francophone Reformed Communities de Karen E. Spierling

Emancipating Calvin: Culture and Confessional Identity in Francophone Reformed Communities: Brill's Series in Church History, cartea 76

Karen E. Spierling, Erik A. de Boer, R. Ward Holder
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 apr 2018
The eleven essays in Emancipating Calvin: Culture and Confessional Identity in Francophone Reformed Communities demonstrate the vitality and variety of early modern Francophone Reformed communities by examining the ways that local contexts shaped the reception and implementation of reforming ideas emanating especially from John Calvin and the Reformed church of Geneva. The articles address three main themes important for understanding the development of Reformed communities: the roles of consistories in Reformed churches and communities, the development of various Reformed cultures, and the ways in which ritual and worship embodied the theology and cultural foundations of Francophone Reformed churches. This Festschrift honors the pioneering work of Raymond Mentzer and reflects his influence in modern Francophone Reformed studies.

Recenzii

"Bien présenté, enrichi notamment d’illustrations en couleurs, cet ouvrage montre bien, à travers des cas précis, la complexité des relations entre Calvin et les communautés francophones." In: Istina, Volume LXV (2020/1).

"To sum up: this volume is a worthy Festschrift for Raymond Mentzer and advances our insight into the ‘translation’ of the ideas of the Reformers into the local contexts on the congregational level. As such, it will serve to stimulate further research on the registers of consistories, classes, and synods in other geographical regions where the ideas of the leaders of the Reformation were adapted to specific contexts." Jan v.d. Kamp, VU University, Amsterdam, in: NTT Journal for Theology and the Study of Religion, Volume 73.4 (2019).

"(...)the articles demonstrate the various directions of research that scholars have taken over the past decade and brings them together in a useful volume supporting the argument in the introduction that the book represents “the most recent steps along this path toward understanding Francophone Reformed congregations--including Geneva--as autonomous communities grappling with particular circumstances” (...) all scholars with an interest in religion during the Reformation will find inspiration in this volume" - Silke Muylaert, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, in: H-France Review Vol. 19 (June 2019), No. 97.

"Jeder der insgesamt elf Beiträge nimmt zwar in der einen oder anderen Form Bezug auf den Jubilar und seine Studien, doch bewirkt diese Referenz bzw. Reverenz alles andere als eine inhaltliche Verklammerung. Im Gegenteil: das dadurch abgedeckte Themenfeld ist zeitlich, räumlich und motivisch-methodisch extrem weit gesteckt, der Gegenstand der Artikel überwiegend partikular, häufig anekdotisch, eine sichtende Auswertung am Anfang oder Ende kaum erkennbar." - Volker Reinhardt, Fribourg, Zeitschrift für Historische Forschung 4/2018, pp. 851-852.
