Through close analysis of the sixteenth-century reception of Paul's discourses of folly, this book examines the role of the New Testament in the development of what Erasmus and John Calvin refer to as the \"Christian philosophy.\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eErasmus and Calvin on the Foolishness of God\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the importance of Pauline rhetoric in the development of humanist critiques of scholasticism while charting the formation of a specifically affective approach to religious epistemology and theological method. As the first book-length examination of Calvin's indebtedness to Erasmus, which also considers the participation of Bullinger, Pellikan, and Melanchthon in an Erasmian exegetical milieu, it is a case study in the complicated cross-confessional exchange of ideas in the sixteenth century. Kirk Essary examines assumptions about the very nature of theology in the sixteenth century, how it was understood by leading humanist reformers, and how ideas about philosophy and rhetoric were received, appropriated, and shared in a complex intellectual and religious context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter One\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCalvin\u0026amp;#x2019;s Erasmus, \u003ci\u003eTheologia Rhetorica\u003c\/i\u003e, and Pauline Folly \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Two\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFoolishness as Religious Knowledge\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Three\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHidden Wisdom and the Revelation of the Spirit\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Four\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMilk for Babes: A Pauline Eloquence\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Five\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBlaming Philosophy, Praising Folly\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Six\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Affective Christian Philosophy\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595456475416,"sku":"9781487501884","price":48.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/erasmus-and-calvin-on-the-foolishness-of-god-reason-and-emotion-in-the-christian-philosophy-hardback-9781487501884","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
