| Résumé : |
For many twentieth-century Christians, the word "humanism" seems automatically to be preceded by "secular." Together, these words provide a convenient catchword for labeling much of what is wrong in today's world. The re-issue of The Christian Scholar in the Age of the Reformation by E. Harris Harbison is a timely reminder that there is historically an honorable tradition of genuine Christian humanism.
The book is today regarded as a classic historical study by the man who, for many years, was considered the dean of Christian historians. First published in 1956, it has been unavailable for several years, though still sought by professional historians. Although originally given as individual lectures, the chapters in the book have been integrated into a single, coherent volume analyzing the intellectual background and the most important representatives of sixteenth-century humanism. Chapter one reviews the patristic and medieval background for Christian humanism; chapter two discusses the pre-Reformation Renaissance, which produced the intellectual climate necessary for the flourishing of Christian humanism; and the remaining chapters focus on three sixteenth-century proponents of Christian humanism—Erasmus, Luther, and Calvin. |
