"Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of
things not seen," wrote the author of the epistle to the Hebrews.
Reflecting on this verse and the epistle's description of the high
priestly and sacrificial ministry of Jesus Christ, Swiss Reformed
theologian and exegete Heinrich Bullinger defined faith as "the
most constant mental certainty, which rests on those things to
which all our hope is directed, namely . . . the expectation of
salvation and the recognition of our truly blessed God and Savior,
who is the inexhaustible fountain of all good." Both the epistle to
the Hebrews and the epistle of James generated much discussion and
debate during the Reformation period. The author of the former is
unknown, and the latter was dismissively labeled as an "epistle of
straw" by Martin Luther. Yet both of these letters have proven to
be essential for Christians-during the Reformation era and
today-who seek to understand the significance of the work of Jesus
Christ and what it means to follow him. In this volume of the
Reformation Commentary on Scripture, church historian and
theologian Ronald K. Rittgers guides readers through a diversity of
early modern commentary on both Hebrews and James. Readers will
hear from familiar voices as well as lesser-known figures from a
variety of theological traditions, including Lutherans, Reformed,
Radicals, Anglicans, and Roman Catholics. Drawing on a variety of
resources-including commentaries, sermons, treatises, and
confessions-much of which appears here for the first time in
English, this volume provides resources for contemporary preachers,
enables scholars to better understand the depth and breadth of
Reformation commentary, and helps all who seek the assurance and
conviction that is found in Christ alone.
