Defending the Trinity in the Reformed Palatinate - The Elohistae

Zusatztext Merkle's careful analysis of Zanchi's De Tribus Elohim and its reception may serve as a helpful introduction to the variegated 'world of Reformed exegesis.' Defending the Trinity is recommended for readers interested in the history of scriptural interpretation and the development of trinitarian theology within the early modern Reformed tradition. Informationen zum Autor Benjamin R Merkle is a Fellow of Theology and Classical Languages at New Saint Andrews College, in Moscow, Idaho. Klappentext This study begins with an examination of Girolamo Zanchi's De Tribus Elohim (1572), setting this important defense of the doctrine of the Trinity in the immediate context of the recent rise of antitrinitarianism within the Reformed Palatinate. De Tribus Elohim focused on the grammaticalpeculiarity of the Hebrew word Elohim (God) in order to refute the biblicism of its contemporary antitrinitarians. In doing so, Zanchi's argument followed an exegetical thread common within the late medieval case for the doctrine of the Trinity, but which ran contrary to the exegetical sensibilitiesof many of Zanchi's own Reformed colleagues. This disagreement over the correct interpretation of the word Elohim, then became a touchstone for distinguishing between two different approaches to the Hebrew text with the Reformed Church of the late sixteenth century, and becomes a significant piecein understanding the development of Reformed exegesis. Zusammenfassung This study centres on Girolamo Zanchi's De Tribus Elohim (1572), placing it in its political and theological setting. De Tribus Elohim focussed on the grammatical peculiarity of the Hebrew word Elohim (God). Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction: Beware of Calvinism 1: How Many Elohim?
