The Judaizing Calvin Sixteenth century Debates over the Messianic - Psalm

Zusatztext Those interested in the interpretation of the Psalms ... or who have an interest in modern debates over Christological readings of the Old Testament will be fascinated by this rich and sophisticated study. Informationen zum Autor G. Sujin Pak is Assistant Professor of the History of Christianity, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary Klappentext By exploring how Martin Luther, Martin Bucer, and John Calvin interpreted a set of eight messianic psalms (Psalms 2, 8, 16, 22, 45, 72, 110, 188), Sujin Pak elucidates key debates about Christological exegesis during the era of the Protestant reformation. More particularly, Pak examines the exegeses of Luther, Bucer, and Calvin in order to (a) reveal their particular theological emphases and reading strategies, (b) identify their debates over the use of Jewish exegesis and the factors leading to charges of 'judaizing' leveled against Calvin, and (c) demonstrate how Psalms reading and the accusation of judaizing serve distinctive purposes of confessional identity formation. In this way, she portrays the beginnings of those distinctive trends that separated Lutheran and Reformed exegetical principles.
