This English translation from the Dutch volume is a study of a
quotation by St. Augustine as it was understood in the late
medieval period. Marijn de Kroon focuses on how this quotation was
interpreted by two theologians: Wessel Gansfort, the Northern
humanist and theologian connected to the "Devotio moderna" and the
Brethren of the Common Life, and Martin Bucer, the Protestant
reformer who further developed Gansfort's ideas. This study is
accompanied by a series of shorter texts, all showing the reception
of Augustine's phrase in late medieval theology and contrasting it
with Gansfort's understanding of it, which Bucer was to adopt. With
his commented edition of sourcetexts, de Kroon throws a new light
on the links between late medieval and Reformation thought,
demonstrating how a fully fledged reformer like Bucer used the
works of medieval theologians. In fact, this is the first work to
point to a concrete case of Gansfort's influence on the
Reformation.
