Hall, H. Ashley: Philip Melanchthon and the Cappadocians

A Reception of Greek Patristic Sources in the Sixteenth Century. The book is organized around Melanchthon's use of Cappadocian works against his opponents: Roman Catholic, the Radical Reformers, the Reformed, and in Intra-Lutheran controversies. The author places Melanchthon within the context of the patristic reception of his time. Moreover, an appendix offers a sketch of the 'Cappadocian canon' of the sixteenth century, with notation of the particular sources for Melanchthon's knowledge and the references to these works in modern scholarly sources. 272 Seiten mit Abb., gebunden (Refo500 Academic Studies; Vol. 16/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2013) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
