Rethinking Catholicism in Renaissance Spain claims that theology
and canon law were decisive for shaping ideas, debates, and
decisions about key political and religious problems in Renaissance
Spain. This book studies Catholic thought during the Spanish
Renaissance, with the various contributors specifically exploring
the ecclesiology and heresiology of the period. Today, these two
subjects are considered to be strictly branches of theology, but at
the time, they were also dealt with in the field of canon law. Both
ecclesiology, which studied the internal structure of the Church,
and heresiology, which identified theological errors, played an
important role in shaping ideas, debates, and decisions concerning
the major political and religious problems of the late medieval and
early modern periods. In contrast to the conventional monolithic
view of Spanish Catholic thought on ecclesiastical matters, the
chapters in this book demonstrate that there was a wide spectrum of
ideas in the field of theology and canon law. The topics analyzed
include Church and Crown relations, diplomatic controversies,
doctrinal debates on slavery, ecclesiological disputes in dialogue
with the Council of Trent, and theories for distinguishing heresies
and repressing them. This book will be essential reading for those
interested in disciplines such as Church history, political
history, and the history of political and legal thought.
