Wim Janse (Author)

Book Description

Series: Studies in the History of Christian Thought | Publication Date: May 1, 1994

This work deals with the role of the Dutch reformer, Albert Hardenberg (1510-1574) in the process of reformed confessionalization in northern Germany, particularly in Bremen. Drawing upon a number of sources, including more than 50 of Hardenberg's treatises and 340 letters, this volume presents both his biography and his theological position. Scrutiny of his doctrinal relations with the Modern Devotion, Renaissance humanism and the Lutheran, Zwinglian and Reformed reformations throws light upon this scholar (long-stereotyped as Crypto-Zwinglian) as well as on Bucer, Melanchton, Brenz, a Lasco, Bullinger, Erasmus and Calvin. The text also provides insight into the spread of reformed ideas to Cologne, Lower Saxony and East-Friesland.
