Adding great historical insight to the events of the sixteenth
century, Inventing Authority uncovers how and why the Protestant
reformers came, in their dissent from the Catholic church, to turn
to the Church Fathers and align their movements with the early
church. Discovering that the reformers most frequently appealed to
patristic sources in polemical contexts, Esther Chung-Kim adeptly
traces the variety and creativity of their appeals to their
forebears in order to support their arguments--citing them to be
authoritative for being "exemplary scriptural exegetes" to
"instruments of choice."Examining three generations of
sixteenth-century reformers--from such heavy-weights as Calvin and
Luther to lesser-known figures like Oecolampadius and
Hesshusen-Chung-Kim offers an analysis of striking breadth, one
that finds its center by focusing in on the perennially contentious
topic of the Eucharist. Filling a significant lacuna in the early
history of the Lutheran and Reformed traditions, Inventing
Authority is an important and eye-opening contribution to
Reformation studies.
