Symphonia Catholica

The Merger of Patristic and Contemporary Sources in the Theological Method of Amandus Polanus (1561-1610).

The specific focus of the book is on the place and function of backgrounds and sources, traditional and contemporary, with particular emphasis on the place of the church fathers in Reformed orthodoxy. Polanus's patristic work, Symphonia, and its eventual impact on his full systematic work, the Syntagma, provides a singular case, within the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, of the reformulation of patristic thought in a fully systematized form, suitable for combination with the results of biblical exegesis and contemporary doctrinal argumentation in the formulation of Reformed orthodox theology. 315 Seiten, gebunden (Reformed Historical Theology; Vol. 30/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2015) Archivexemplarstempel auf Vorsatz/stamp on front endpaper
