Tóm tắt/ chú giải | : | In recent years, much of the best historical work on the Reformation has been directed at Luther and his medieval background. It is B. A. Gerrish's contention, however, that the significance of Protestant ideas cannot be appraised historically if Luther is made the sole point of reference or if the Reformation is treated as something other than a critical moment in a larger historical development to which liberal Protestantism also belongs. Nor, he maintains, can ideas and doctrines be understood in abstraction from the religious experience they express. “The Old Protestantism and the New”, therefore, redress the present imbalance in historical studies of Protestantism by raising questions about the intellectual heritage of the Reformers in the modern world, three dominant interests shape Gerrish's approach: Luther's relation to other Reformers, especially Calvin; the relationship between classical and liberal Protestant thought; and the patterns of religious experience behind theological formulas. The originality of the individual chapters, which are written for historians and specialists in religious thought, is enhanced by how the book brings pivotal thinkers together. |
