Information sur l'oeuvreA Reformation Debate par John Calvin
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() Nice review of the debates and issues during the reformation between the Roman Church and the Reformers. Part of it is like a political debate where niceness is feigned "out of respect" and then the verbal barbs fly. Calvin pulls no punches against the cardinal and speaks plainly about what the reformers believe regarding justification and the corruption that is rampant in the Roman Church. It is a quick, fairly easy read and worth the time. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In 1539, Cardinal Jacopo Sadoleto, Bishop of Carpentras, addressed a letter to the magistrates and citizens of Geneva, asking them to return to the Roman Catholic faith. John Calvin replied to Sadoleto, defending the adoption of the Protestant reforms. Sadoleto ?s letter and Calvin ?s reply constitute one of the most interesting exchanges of Roman Catholic/Protestant views during the Reformation and an excellent introduction to the great religious controversy of the sixteenth century. These statements are not in vacuo of a Roman Catholic and Protestant position. They were drafted in the midst of the religious conflict that was then dividing Europe. And they reflect too the temperaments and personal histories of the men who wrote them. Sadoleto ?s letter has an irenic approach, an emphasis on the unity and peace of the Church, highly characteristic of the Christian Humanism he represented. Calvin ?s reply is in part a personal defense, an apologia pro vita sua, that records his own religious experience. And its taut, comprehensive argument is characteristic of the disciplined and logical mind of the author of The Institutes of the Christian Religion.
