Book A Declaration  Or Confession of Faith  by Casiodoro de Reina

Download or read book A Declaration Or Confession of Faith by Casiodoro de Reina written by Steven Griffin and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most English-speakers know very little about the dramatic events surrounding the Spanish reformation of the 16th century due to the Inquisition's incredible success of suppressing Protestantism, especially in Spain. Now, for the first time, English-speakers can read the only confession of faith that was written by Spaniards during the 16th century based on the original Spanish and Latin texts. Casiodoro de Reina (of the Spanish Reina-Valera Bible translation) was the principal author of the confession. He was influenced by all of the major strands of Reformation thought (Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, and Anabaptist), and this shows up in this work. Reina appears to have been more of a pacifist in his theological outlook, attempting to be truly "catholic" in outlook.

Book The Spanish Confession of the Christian Faith

Download or read book The Spanish Confession of the Christian Faith written by Casiodoro De Reina and published by . This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Confessión de la Fe Christiana (1560/61), written and presented by Casiodoro de Reina (1520-1594), and edited by Cipriano de Valera (1531-1602) is hereby published for the first time in a side-by-side bilingual format, consisting of a modernized Spanish rendering of the text and a modern English translation, as The Spanish Confession of the Christian Faith. This confession, being one which has been forgotten and neglected by most scholarship until only recently, is one that restores to the land of Spain, known for its ruthless anti-protestant persecution in the sixteenth-century, a crown jewel in its often-dismissed protestant heritage. La Confessión de la Fe Christiana (1560/61), escrita y presentada por Casiodoro de Reina (1520-1594), y editada por Cipriano de Valera (1531-1602), se publica por primera vez en un formato bilingüe de lado a lado, que consta de una versión modernizada del texto en español y una traducción moderna al inglés, bajo el título de La Confesión Española de la Fe Cristiana. Esta confesión, siendo una que ha sido olvidada y descuidada por la mayoría de la erudición hasta hace poco, es aquella que devuelve a la tierra de España, conocida por su despiadada persecución antiprotestante en el siglo XVI, una joya en su a menudo desestimado patrimonio protestante.

Book Converso Non Conformism in Early Modern Spain

Download or read book Converso Non Conformism in Early Modern Spain written by Kevin Ingram and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos), through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards Madrid’s converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain’s greatest painter, Diego Velázquez, in his work, Los Borrachos. Finally, Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be underexplored.

Book Inquisitionis Hispanicae Artes  The Arts of the Spanish Inquisition  Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus

Download or read book Inquisitionis Hispanicae Artes The Arts of the Spanish Inquisition Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus written by Marcos J. Herráiz Pareja and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Inquisitionis Hispanicae Artes (Heidelberg, 1567), written by exiled Spanish Protestants, is the first systematic denunciation of the Spanish Inquisition. Its first part is a description of the Inquisition’s methods, making use of the Inquisition’s own instruction manual, which was not publicly known. Its second section presents a gallery of individuals who suffered persecution in Seville during the anti-Protestant repression (1557-1565). The book had a great impact, being almost immediately translated into English, French, Dutch, German, and Hungarian. The portraits very soon passed into Protestant martyrologies, and the most shocking descriptions (torture, auto de fe) became ammunition for anti-Spanish literature. This critical edition presents a new text as well as, for the first time, extensive notes.

Book Exile in Amsterdam

    Book Details:
  • Author : Marc Saperstein
  • Publisher : Hebrew Union College Press
  • Release : 2005-12-31
  • ISBN : 0878201254
  • Pages : 608 pages

Download or read book Exile in Amsterdam written by Marc Saperstein and published by Hebrew Union College Press. This book was released on 2005-12-31 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exile in Amsterdam is based on a rich, extensive, and previously untapped source for one of the most important and fascinating Jewish communities in early modern Europe: the sermons of Saul Levi Morteira (ca. 1596-1660). Morteira, the leading rabbi of Amsterdam and a master of Jewish homiletical art, was known to have published only one book of fifty sermons in 1645, until a collection of 550 manuscript sermons in his own handwriting turned up in the Rabbinical Seminary of Budapest. After years of painstaking study from microfilms and three trips to Budapest to consult the actual manuscripts, Marc Saperstein has written the first comprehensive analysis of the historical significance of these texts, some of which were heard by the young Spinoza. Saperstein reviews the broad outlines of Morteira's biography, his treatment by scholars, and his image in literary works. He then reconstructs the process by which the preacher produced and delivered his sermons. Morteira's sermons also provide a trove of information about individuals and institutions in Morteira's Amsterdam, enabling Saperstein to analyze the shortcomings of behavior and the lapses in faith criticized by the preacher. The sermons also presented an ongoing program of adult education that transmitted the Jewish tradition on a high yet accessible level to a congregation of new Jews-immigrants who had lived as Christians in Portugal and were now assuming a Jewish identity with minimal prior knowledge. Here Saperstein focuses on themes Morteira considered crucial: memories of the historical past, confrontations with Christianity, ideas of exile and messianic redemption, and attitudes toward the New Christians who remained in Portugal. These historical reflections on Amsterdam's community of new Jews are illustrated by eight of Morteira's sermons, which Saperstein presents in English and with full annotation for the first time. Exile in Amsterdam offers those interested in European Jewish history and homiletics access to primary source documents and the scholarship of one of the premier historians of Jewish preaching.

Book The French Wars of Religion  1562   1629

Download or read book The French Wars of Religion 1562 1629 written by Mack P. Holt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-13 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a 2005 edition of Mack P. Holt's classic study of the French religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Drawing on the scholarship of social and cultural historians of the Reformation, it shows how religion infused both politics and the socio-economic tensions of the period to produce a long extended civil war. Professor Holt integrates court politics and the political theory of the elites with the religious experiences of the popular classes, offering a fresh perspective on the wars and on why the French were willing to kill their neighbors in the name of religion. The book has been created specifically for undergraduates and general readers with no background knowledge of either French history or the Reformation. This edition updates the text in the light of new work published in the decade prior to publication and the 'Suggestions for further reading' has been completely re-written.
