During the sixteenth century, many Reformers echoed Erasmus's claim
that the Scriptures were clear, could be understood by even the
lowliest servant, and should be translated into the vernacular and
placed in the hands of all people. People did not require the
magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church to correctly interpret the
meaning of the Scriptures. However, within a few short years, the
leaders of the Magisterial Reformers, Martin Luther and Huldrych
Zwingli, had created their own Protestant versions of the
magisterium. This work traces how the doctrine of the clarity of
Scripture found expression in the writings of Balthasar Hubmaier,
admirer of Erasmus and Luther, and associate of Zwingli. As
Hubmaier engaged in theological debate with opponents, onetime
friends, and other Anabaptists, he sought to clarify his
understanding of this critical reformation doctrine.
Chronologically tracing the development of Hubmaier's hermeneutic
as he interacted with Erasmus, Luther, Zwingli, and Hans Denck
provides a useful means of more accurately understanding his place
in the matrix of the sixteenth-century Reformations.
