Girolamo Zanchi, De religione Christiana fides - Confession of Christian Religion (2 vols.)
by Luca Baschera and Christian Moser
Published 1 January 2007
Forced to leave Italy because of his Protestant views, Girolamo Zanchi (1516-1590) became a respected Reformed theologian abroad and helped to shape the emerging 'Reformed Orthodoxy'. Zanchi's work on a common confession of faith for the Reformed churches placed him at the heart of the international Reformed community. Although that project was never brought to fruition, the result of Zanchi's efforts was De religione christiana fides, a critical edition of which is published here, alongside a 16th-century English translation of the work. De religione christiana fides serves as a compendium of Zanchi's mature theology and reflects the development of Reformed dogmatics and polemic more generally in the late 16th century. It therefore provides an interesting picture of the theology of a whole era.

The sources and applied work processes in Heinrich Bullinger's Reformation History are analyzed in the context of the theological assumptions and methodological claims of Bullinger's historiography, which are classified against the background of early modern humanist and confessional historiography.
Die Studie untersucht die Bemuhungen des Zurcher Reformators Heinrich Bullinger um eine historiographische Erfassung der Reformationszeit, die in dessen handschriftlichen "Reformationsgeschichte" kulminierten. Dieses Werk wird im Kontext der geschichtstheologischen Voraussetzungen Bullingers analysiert und historiographiegeschichtlich situiert.
