Recap: Reformation Divided Luther (Saxony-German) vs. Zwingli (Swiss): Marburg Colloquy (1529) Hoc Est Corpus Meum?: Eucharistic Division Renaissance Humanism: Friends and Critics of the Reformation From Little Germany to the Swiss Connection: English move towards Reformed
Perfect School of Christ: Calvin & Geneva John Calvin (Jean Cauvin) (1509-1564): French Humanist, exile, theologian, architect of the Reformation The Institutes of the Christian Religion: Reformation as Systematic Theology? Presbyterianism: Plurality of Elders, radical change in polity The Shadow of Election: Salvation and Double Predestination
The Reformed International Reformed as Calvinism : A slur or is there some truth? Covenantal Theology: The pact between God and Man International Reformed: French (Huguenots), German, Dutch, Scottish (John Knox) The Marian Exiles: Geneva as ally or master? Rules for Radicals?: Geneva Bible (1560), Lesser Magistrate Doctrine, and the Question of Adiaphora
Counter (Catholic) Reformation Council of Trent: Moral reforms, but doctrinal doubling-down Society of Jesus: Jesuits as missionaries, political radicals, and shock-troops English Catholics: Caught between loyalty and rebellion
Elizabethan Reformation: Via Media? Marian Exiles: Debate over Prayer book and Further reform Conformists: Protestants committed to orderly and royal reformation Predestination as Public Policy: Social destabilization and doctrine Adiaphora: Governor s (Monarch s) prerogative Elizabethan Catholics: allies to Protestant kingdom
Reformation Without Tarry: Earlier reform William Tyndale: Reformation with or without the monarch John Hooper (1495-1555): Edwardian bishop and vestments controversy Conceptual Question: Which truths matter? Who is to decide? Should social order take precedence over reform or the opposite?
Hotter Sort of Protestants: Puritanism Puritanism: A slur, a movement, and an ethos; the need to push the Reformation further; preserving, but cleansing, the national church Edmund Grindal: moderate puritan, prophesyings scandal, sacked (1583) Marprelate Tracts: radical puritanism, Presbyterianism, a threat? Mask of Villainy: Puritan as Machiavellian Rebel?
Conformity, Radical Conformity and Popery John Whitgift: Conformism as necessary for Reformation in mean-time; debate with Thomas Cartwright Richard Hooker: The Elizabethan Settlement as Ideal Mask of Villainy Redux: Popery as enemy of further reform
Puritans and Papists: Considerations Both trope and reality: analytical task is to see amid truth and fiction Accusations created reality: claiming the existence of radicals to the left and to the right promoted ideas that were, ironically, not in circulation Recriminations deepened Machiavellian politics: every crisis could provoke counter-crisis
