Following Zwingli explores history, scholarship, and memory in
Reformation Zurich. The humanist culture of this city was shaped by
a remarkable sodality of scholars, many of whom had been associated
with Erasmus. In creating a new Christian order, Zwingli and his
colleagues sought biblical, historical, literary, and political
models to shape and defend their radical reforms. After Zwingli's
sudden death, the next generation was committed to the
institutional and intellectual establishment of the Reformation
through ongoing dialogue with the past. The essays of this volume
examine the immediacy of antiquity, early Christianity, and the
Middle Ages for the Zurich reformers. Their reading and
appropriation of history was no mere rhetorical exercise or
polemical defence. The Bible, theology, church institutions,
pedagogy, and humanist scholarship were the lifeblood of the
Reformation. But their appropriation depended on the interplay of
past ideals with the pressing demands of a sixteenth-century reform
movement troubled by internal dissention and constantly under
attack. This book focuses on Zwingli's successors and on their
interpretations of the recent and distant past: the choices they
made, and why. How those pasts spoke to the present and how they
were heard tell us a great deal not only about the distinctive
nature of Zurich and Zwinglianism, but also about locality,
history, and religious change in the European Reformation.
Peter Martyr Vermigli (1499-1562), einer der Vater des reformierten
Protestantismus, hielt in den Jahren 1554 bis 1556 in Strassburg
Vorlesungen uber die Nikomachische Ethik des Aristoteles, welche
nach seinem Tod 1563 in Zurich in der Form eines fortlaufenden
Kommentars herausgegeben wurden. In der vorliegenden Studie wird
einerseits Vermiglis Hermeneutik im Kontext der weiteren
Kommentarliteratur untersucht, andererseits die Interaktion
philosophischer und theologischer Anliegen in seiner Auslegung
beleuchtet. Dies ermoglicht, die Grundlinien der reformierten
Philosophierezeption sowie die Verhaltnisbestimmung von
aristotelischer Ethik und Heilslehre in der fruhneuzeitlichen
reformierten Theologie am Beispiel Vermiglis zu rekonstruieren.
