Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Schwenckfeld´s Participation in the Eucharistic Controversy of the Sixteenth Century The dissenters of the Reformation in Germany, no less than in the other countries of Europe, had to wait a long time before the first attempts were made to accord them anything like a fair or adequate historical treatment. The political or secular historian lacked the desire and the fitness to do justice to the numerous religious sects in that age of bitter theological controversies, while at least the earliest of modem ecclesiastical historians betrayed a narrow confessional interest which was not only blind to many a virtue in the nobler heretics, but also quite incapable of estimating the salutary influence of some of the heresies themselves. It was not till the middle of the last century, therefore, that the first really meritorious efforts were made to study the so-called fanatics and sectarians of this period with the sober spirit of scientific, investigation. It is especially to be regretted that so little attention had been paid to the life and work of Caspar Schwenckfeld. To be sure, Arnold in his Unpartheyische Kirchen-und Ketzerhistorie and Salig in his Historie der Augspurgischen Confession had succeeded to some extent in securing a more correct estimate of the much misunderstood reformer. But it still remains true, that when we regard his strong and beautiful character, his native ability and his acquired powers, the amount as well as the originality and suggestiveness of his literary output, the extent of his intercourse with the leading spirits of his age and his influence upon them, or the nature of his achievement as a polemic theologian and the founder of a sect which, though small, has added to the lustre of his name, we cannot but feel that here is "a man who, in spite of his eminent significance for the history of the Reformation, has not as yet met with a proper appreciation." The following dissertation, which is substantially a reprint from The Princeton Theological Review of this year, endeavors to set forth Schwenckfeld´s peculiar theory of the eucharist as related both to the teachings of his opponents and to his own system of theological speculations.
