Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Introductory Lectures on the Oxford Reformers: Colet, Erasmus and More; Delivered in Philadelphia, in 1893, Under the Auspices of the American Society for the Extension of University Teaching "A good man was ther of religioun, And was a poor Persoun of a toun; But riche he was of holy thought and werk. He was also a lerned man, a clerk That Cristes gospel gladly wolde preche; His parischens devoutly wolde he teche. This noble ensample unto his scheep he gaf, That ferst he wroughte, and after that he taughte: Out of the gospel he the wordes caughte, And this figure he addid yit thereto, That if gold ruste, what schude yren doo? A bettre preest I trowe ther nowher non is. He wayteed after no pompe ne reverence, Ne maked him a spiced conscience, But Christes lore, and his Apostles twelve, He taught, and ferst he folwed it himselve." - Chaucer´s Prologue "The awakening of a rational Christianity, whether in England or in the Teutonic world at large, begins with the Florentine studies of John Colet. From the first it was manifest that the revival of Letters would take a tone in England very different from the tone it had taken in Italy, a tone less literary, less largely human, but more moral, more religious, more practical in its bearings both upon society and politics. The vigour and earnestness of Colet were the best proof of the strength with which the new movement was to affect English religion... It was his resolve to fling aside the traditional dogmas of his day and to discover a rational and practical religion in the Gospels themselves, which gave its peculiar stamp to the theology of the Renascence. His faith stood simply on a vivid realization of the person of Christ. In the prominence which such a view gave to the moral life, in his free criticism of the earlier Scriptures, in his tendency to simple forms of doctrine and confessions of faith, Colet struck the key-note of a mode of religious thought as strongly in contrast with that of the later Reformation as with that of Catholicism itself." - J.
