In Nicodemism and the English Calvin Kenneth J. Woo reassesses John Calvin's decades-long attack against Nicodemism, which Calvin described as evangelicals playing Catholic to avoid hardship or persecution. Frequently portrayed as a static argument varying little over time, the reformer's anti-Nicodemite polemic actually was adapted to shifting contexts and diverse audiences. Calvin's strategic approach to Nicodemism was not lost on readers, influencing its reception in England. Quatre sermons (1552) presents Calvin's anti-Nicodemism in the only sermons he personally prepared for publication. By setting this work in its original context and examining its reception in five sixteenth-century English editions, Woo demonstrates how Calvin and others deployed his rhetoric against Nicodemism to address concerns having little to do with religious dissimulation.

Calvin's 1559 Institutes is one of the most important works of theology that emerged at a pivotal time in Europe's history. As a movement, Calvinism has often been linked to the emerging features of modernity, especially to capitalism, rationalism, disenchantment, and the formation of the modern sovereign state. In this book, Michelle Sanchez argues that a closer reading of the 1559 Institutes recalls some of the tensions that marked Calvinism's emergence among refugees, and ultimately opens new ways to understand the more complex ethical and political legacy of Calvinism. In conversation with theorists of practice and signification, she advocates for reading the Institutes as a pedagogical text that places the reader in the world as the domain in which to actively pursue the 'knowledge of God and ourselves' through participatory uses of divine revelation. Through this lens, she reconceives Calvin's understanding of sovereignty and how it works in relation to the embodied reader. Sanchez also critically examines Calvin's teaching on providence and the incarnation in conversation with theorists of political theology and modernity who emphasize the importance of those very doctrines.

This book recognizes the career of Professor Emeritus Calvin H. Bartholomew, who celebrated his 75th birthday in 2018, and his contributions to the science and engineering of heterogeneous catalysis, a field which improves daily life in countless, but often unrecognized ways. Dr. Bartholomew is an eminent researcher, an outstanding educator, mentor, and friend. The nine chapters comprising the book were written by former students, collaborators, colleagues, and respected peers. Chapters cover supported iron Fischer–-Tropsch catalysts, a spectroscopic study of iron-based water gas shift catalysts, nickel catalysts both for (dry) methane reforming with associated carbon deactivation and carbon dioxide methanation, a methanol steam reforming catalyst, cobalt oxide on niobia catalysts for environmental applications, palladium catalysts supported on titania for hydrogen peroxide synthesis, methane combustion catalyst stability, and chiral catalyst deactivation. In summary, this book covers much of the breadth and points to the depth of Professor Bartholomew’s illustrious career. We thank him for his kind example and honor him for his lasting contributions.

La 4e de couverture indique :"Face aux périls du temps des dictatures, Zweig fait d'Erasme son modèle. L'amour des lettres et de l'art, le commerce civil des esprits, le dialogue persévérant dessinent l'espace d'une tolérance où inscrire idéalement le présent. Le moderne qu'est Zweig met à contribution la psychologie de même que l'anatomie et la généalogie des systèmes. Identifiant dans la théocratie instaurée par Calvin à Genève la matrice des totalitarismes - la Terreur, le communisme soviétique, la dictature raciste -, il défend avec véhémence les valeurs morales. La plume sera sa seule arme. Refusant, ce qu'on lui reprocha vivement, l'engagement militant, il fuit l'Allemagne puis l'Europe avant de se donner la mort au Brésil. Pour lui cependant, le cours des choses n'est pas déterminé une fois pour toutes. Il est fait de retournements inattendus."

Après les 193 leçons sur le livre du prophète Jérémie (cf. Calvini opera denuo recognita, Series Exegetica 6a et 6b, 2016), Calvin paracheva son explication du prophète avec dix-huit leçons sur les Lamentationes de septembre 1562 à janvier 1563. Les Lamentations s'inscrivent dans l'une des traditions poétiques des qînoth, les complaintes qui concernent le gouvernement politique. Calvin s'attache à en donner une interprétation morale et actualisante. Les sources et les principes exégétiques du Réformateur restent les mêmes, mais la double introduction, au texte latin et au texte français, les rappelle. L'édition est en effet juxtalinéaire avec en vis-à-vis la traduction modernisée et commentée de Charles de Jonviller. Deux index des noms de personnes et des citations bibliques complètent l'édition.

"Scholars have associated Calvinism with print and literary cultures, with republican, liberal, and participatory political cultures, with cultures of violence and vandalism, enlightened cultures, cultures of social discipline, secular cultures, and with the emergence of capitalism. Reflecting on these arguments, the essays in this volume recognize that Reformed Protestantism did not develop as a uniform tradition but varied across space and time. The authors demonstrate that multiple iterations of Calvinism developed and impacted upon differing European communities that were experiencing social and cultural transition. They show how these different forms of Calvinism were shaped by their adherents and opponents, and by the divergent political and social contexts in which they were articulated and performed. Recognizing that Reformed Protestantism developed in a variety of cultural settings, this volume analyzes the ways in which it related to the multi-confessional cultural environment that prevailed in Europe after the Reformation."
