Abstract

Christians today will find new cause to rejoice in what God did in the sixteenth century through weak and fallible men and women. His people sought to submit themselves to the Word of God and lead his followers in a godly and faithful response to the gospel of grace. The Reformation is not a dead movement but a living legacy that can still capture the imagination and encourage men and women in their own Christian discipleship.

Abstract

"This review analyses public procurement policies and practices of ISSSTESON, the institution providing health and pension services to the workers of the State Government of Sonora, Mexico. It benchmarks ISSSTESON practices against the 2015 Recommendation of the Council on Public Procurement to help the institute upgrade its procurement operations and increase efficiency, in a difficult financial environment. It also examines the revenue structure of the Institute and suggests reforms for the pension scheme, which is too generous compared to national and international experience."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

This collection of essays charts the influence of the Lutheran Reformation on various (northern) European languages and texts written in them. The central themes of Languages in the Lutheran Reformation: Textual Networks and the Spread of Ideas are: how the ideas related to Lutheranism were adapted to the new areas, new languages, and new contexts during the Reformation period in the 16th and 17th centuries; and how the Reformation affected the standardization of the languages. Networks of texts, knowledge, and authors belong to the topics of the present volume. The contributions look into language use, language culture, and translation activities during the Reformation, but also in the prelude to the Reformation as well as after it, in the early modern period. The contributors are experts in the study of their respective languages, including Czech, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, High German, Icelandic, Latvian, Lithuanian, Low German, Norwegian, Polish, and Swedish. The primary texts explored in the essays are Bible translations, but genres other than biblical are also discussed.

Abstract

An illuminating history of how religious belief lost its uncontested status in the WestThis landmark book traces the history of belief in the Christian West from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, revealing for the first time how a distinctively modern category of belief came into being. Ethan Shagan focuses not on what people believed, which is the normal concern of Reformation history, but on the more fundamental question of what people took belief to be.Shagan shows how religious belief enjoyed a special prestige in medieval Europe, one that set it apart from judgment, opinion, and the evidence of the senses. But with the outbreak of the Protestant Reformation, the question of just what kind of knowledge religious belief was-and how it related to more mundane ways of knowing-was forced into the open. As the warring churches fought over the answer, each claimed belief as their exclusive possession, insisting that their rivals were unbelievers. Shagan challenges the common notion that modern belief was a gift of the Reformation, showing how it was as much a reaction against Luther and Calvin as it was against the Council of Trent. He describes how dissidents on both sides came to regard religious belief as something that needed to be justified by individual judgment, evidence, and argument.Brilliantly illuminating, The Birth of Modern Belief demonstrates how belief came to occupy such an ambivalent place in the modern world, becoming the essential category by which we express our judgments about science, society, and the sacred, but at the expense of the unique status religion once enjoyed.

Abstract

"Tragedy as Philosophy in the Reformation World' examines how sixteenth- and seventeenth-century poets, theologians, and humanist critics turned to tragedy to understand providence and agencies human and divine in the crucible of the Reformation. Rejecting familiar assumptions about tragedy, vital figures like Philipp Melanchthon, David Pareus, Lodovico Castelvetro, John Rainolds, and Daniel Heinsius developed distinctly philosophical ideas of tragedy, irreducible to drama or performance, inextricable from rhetoric, dialectic, and metaphysics. In its proximity to philosophy, tragedy afforded careful readers crucial insight into causality, probability, necessity, and the terms of human affect and action. With these resources at hand, poets and critics produced aseries of daring and influential theses on tragedy between the 1550s and the 1630s, all directly related to pressing Reformation debates concerning providence, predestination, faith, and devotional practice. Under the influence of Aristotle's Poetics, they presented tragedy as an exacting forensic tool, enabling attentive readers to apprehend totality. And while some poets employed tragedy to render sacred history palpable with new energy and urgency, others marshalled a precise philosophicalnotion of tragedy directly against spectacle and stage-playing, endorsing anti-theatrical theses on tragedy inflected by the antique Poetics. In other words, this work illustrates the degree to which some of the influential poets and critics in the period, emphasized philosophical precision at the0expense of-even to the exclusion of-dramatic presentation."--

Abstract

Susanne Schuster widmet sich dem Corpus der Dialogflugschriften der frühen Reformationszeit und ordnet die Dialoge in den kommunikativen Kontext der Reformation ein. Die Dialoge setzten die akademische Disputation literarisch fort. Die Autorin blickt auf den Aspekt der Fiktionalität, die den Dialogen variable diskursive Welten öffnen konnte. Auf der theologischen Ebene sind die Dialoge Inansprucchnahme des allgemeinen Priestertums und des Schriftprinzips. Als Resonanzräume reformatorischen Denkens erlauben die Dialogflugschriften einen einzigartigen Einblick in ein literarisches Corpus der Reformation. --

Abstract

Katholisch oder evangelisch? Die Reformation trennte die europäischen Gesellschaften seit dem 16. Jahrhundert in zwei feindliche Blöcke. Doch seit der Aufklärung im 18. Jahrhundert schienen die Religion und auch die Konfessionen zunehmend belanglos zu werden. Aber stimmt dieser Eindruck wirklich? Betrachtet man die in Europa teils bis heute herrschenden Einstellungen zu Kunst und Musik, zu Literatur und Sexualität wird allenthalben deutlich, dass sich unterschiedliche Zugänge je nach konfessioneller Prägung erkennen lassen. Die Aufklärung, die das Konfessionelle Zeitalter überwand und die Vorherrschaft einer protestantischen Kultur etablierte, war nicht das letzte Wort der Geschichte. Auf die Entkonfessionalisierung im "Zeitalter der Vernunft" folgte im 19. Jahrhundert eine erneute Bekräftigung der Gegensätze zwischen Protestanten und Katholiken - mit Nachwirkungen bis heute. Michael Maurer verfolgt Aufstieg, Niedergang und Wandel der Konfessionskulturen in Europa vom 16. Jahrhundert bis heute - eine Entdeckungsreise, die auch denjenigen, die sich religiös nicht gebunden fühlen, unerwartete Einsichten über die eigenen Prägungen eröffnen kann.
