Späthumanismus und reformierte Konfession

The articles in this volume examine how and in what way denominational orientations were reflected in the teachings of philosophy, jurisprudence and theology at the University of Heidelberg at the end of the 16th century. In theology, it is possible to establish a clear denominational dissociation, one which is directed at the so-called Gnesiolutherans and the Lutheranism of the Formula of Concord but not at the Lutheranism which had Melanchthonian tendencies. In philosophy, this is scarcely discernible. In jurisprudence, there was a strong dissociation from »papism«. However there are almost no dissociations within Protestantism. There is however a general criticism of the unpleasant »quarreling among theologians«. The authors of this volume show clearly what little meaning the labels »Calvinist« or »reformed« actually have.Eike Wolgast: Geistiges Profil und politische Ziele des Heidelberger Späthumanismus
