Theologie

Alte Drucke, Bibeln, Klassische Autoren in den Originalsprachen – VD16 H 6000 - Nach dem Tod Martin Luthers und im Zuge der Entstehung der Konkordienformel (1577) gab es heftige innerlutherische Streitigkeiten. Der Theologe Matthias Flacius hatte behauptet, die Erbsünde sei die eigentliche "Substanz" des gefallenen Menschen. Hunnius wandte sich in seiner Erklärung gegen solche radikalen Strömungen sowie gegen katholische und calvinistische Positionen. Er half dabei, die offizielle lutherische Lehre zu definieren, nach der die Erbsünde eine tiefgreifende Akzidenz (Verderberin der Natur), aber nicht die von Gott geschaffene Substanz des Menschen selbst ist. - Papier altersbedingt etwas gebräunt, leicht braunfleckig, im unteren Blattbereich mit Feuchtigkeitsrand. Blatt b2 im obersten äußeren Rand mit restaurierten Außriss ohne Textverlust.

Prints before 1600, Bibles, Classics in Original Languages – Theology. - After the death of Martin Luther and in the course of the drafting of the Formula of Concord (1577), fierce disputes broke out within Lutheranism. The theologian Matthias Flacius had claimed that original sin was the very "substance" of fallen man. In his commentary, Hunnius opposed such radical currents as well as Catholic and Calvinist positions. He helped to define the official Lutheran doctrine, according to which original sin is a profound accident (a corruptor of nature), but not the substance of man himself as created by God. The paper is somewhat browned with age and lightly foxed, with a dampstain in the lower margin of the leaves. Leaf b2 shows a restored tear at the uppermost outer margin, without loss of text.
