In the Vita Corbiniani Bishop Arbeo of Freising (ca. 763-764 to
783-784 CE) wrote a description of the life of Saint Corbinian.
This early medieval life of a saint is the object of the present
historical analysis. The author describes the changes in the
perception of Corbinian from the beginning of his being revered up
to the history of research on him. Afterwards he develops from the
Vita Corbiniani with the aid of the form-critical method, a
modified view of the historical figure Corbinian and his
development into a saint. Connected to this is the opening-up of a
new perspective on Bavarian church history in the early 8th
century.
English summary: The first volume of Hans Schneider's (* 1941)
Collected Essays contains his most important studies on Radical
Pietism, among which some publications in English language that by
now were difficult to access. During the last three decades, the
Marburg church historian has exercised an determining influence on
this field of study. Besides an important research review, this
volume assembles contributions on single representatives of Radical
Pietism, such as Gottfried Arnold, Ernst Christoph Hochmann von
Hochenau, Eberhard Ludwig Gruber, and Alexander Mack, and
furthermore studies on their conception of history, eschatology,
comprehension of baptism, on Hermetical influences and on the
effects of Radical Pietism on Scandinavia. These essays are of
particular interest for who is working on Pietism out of an
perspective of literary or cultural history. German description:
Der erste Band der Gesammelten Aufsatze von Hans Schneider (geb.
1941) umfasst seine wichtigsten Beitrage zum radikalen Pietismus,
darunter einige bislang schwer zugangliche englischsprachige
Veroffentlichungen. In den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten hat der
Marburger Kirchenhistoriker dieses Forschungsfeld massgeblich
gepragt. Neben einem wegweisenden Forschungsbericht versammelt der
Band personenbezogene Beitrage zu Gottfried Arnold, Ernst Christoph
Hochmann von Hochenau, Eberhard Ludwig Gruber, Alexander Mack und
anderen Exponenten des radikalen Pietismus sowie Arbeiten zu Themen
wie ihrem Geschichtsbild, ihrer Zukunftserwartung, ihrem
Taufverstandnis, Einfluessen der Hermetik und ihrer Wirksamkeit in
Skandinavien. Die Aufsatze sind auch fuer literatur- und
kulturwissenschaftliche Zugange zur Pietismusforschung von
besonderem Interesse.
