Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Faustus Socinus's De Ecclesia is presented here in English translation. Faustus Socinus (1539-1604) is among the formative thinkers of Socinianism; his works are marked by a consistently Scripture-based and sober, argumentative examination of dogma and claims of ecclesiastical authority.At the center of the treatise stands a controversy that remains pressing to this day: ecclesiastical authorities often secure doctrines, rites, and practical decisions by appealing to 'the Church,' thereby deriving a claim to be incapable of error in matters of faith. Socinus targets precisely this shortcut. He opens up the seemingly conclusive formula ('The Church cannot err-and we are the Church') and makes its assumptions visible: What is meant by 'Church' in the first place How can unity be conceived when Christians are scattered across countries and centuries And what scope could any claim to freedom from error reasonably have The argument proceeds through clear distinctions: between the visible church (as an identifiable community of confession) and the totality of true believers, whose condition cannot be reliably determined by outward marks. From this follows a sober limitation of 'infallibility' if it applies at all, it concerns what is necessary for salvation-not every historical doctrinal decision, not every rite, not every form of church order.Another focus is the critique of so-called 'marks' of the Church that are meant to replace the demanding task of examining Scripture. Socinus shows why such catalogues of marks remain uncertain or lead into circular reasoning: anyone who grounds such marks in Scripture must interpret Scripture-and cannot evade testing everything against the Word of God.The treatise also deals extensively with ministry and the sacraments: apostolic mission (a unique, foundational authority) is distinguished from later forms of church leadership and ecclesiastical order. A concluding excursus on Matthew 16 ('Peter,' 'the keys of the kingdom of heaven,' 'binding and loosing') serves as a case study: the disputed passages are read in such a way that they establish neither institutional infallibility nor a transferable ruling power, but rather an authority bound to the Gospel-an authority to proclaim and to discern belonging.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One of the sharpest christological polemics of the early modern period.In 1587 the Lithuanian Reformed theologian Andreas Volanus addressed an admonition to all adherents of the 'Samosatene or Ebionite doctrine' in Poland and Lithuania. Faustus Socinus (1539-1604), founder of Socinianism and the formative mind of the Polish Brethren, answered twice: first in great haste, then - after Volanus' extensive Responsio - in the far more detailed second reply that forms the main body of this book. Both answers appeared in 1588 with a dedication to the magnate John Kiszka; they were printed only decades later in the Bibliotheca Fratrum Polonorum.Two questions stand at the centre, and Socinus treats them as one: Is Jesus Christ God by nature, of one essence with the Father - or is he the man sent, begotten and exalted by God, to whom all authority was given Socinus does not dispute the dignity of Christ, but its customary justification: what Scripture asserts of Christ, it asserts of the Son of God, not of a second consubstantial God.In what sense are our sins expiated by the blood and death of Christ Socinus holds fast to the biblical testimony - Christ is the high priest who effects the expiation - but rejects the notion that God was paid for our debt in Christ. A debt once paid, runs his central argument, could no longer be remitted by grace; but where there is forgiveness, there is no payment. Christ did not reconcile God; rather 'God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself' (2 Cor 5:19) - which is precisely why that verse stands as the motto on the title page of the original edition.This edition offers: - the complete translation of both replies from the Latin- extensive annotations with scriptural references and explanations of persons and writings- a glossary of the terms of scholastic disputation (natura, essentia, subsistentia, satisfactio)- an introductory preface on the controversy and those involved in itA key text of antitrinitarianism and early modern religious history - and a call to intellectual honesty: that even sacred tradition must withstand examination. 'Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.'.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - May Christ be invoked in prayer One of the sixteenth century's most fascinating theological controversies.In this treatise, the Italian theologian Faustus Socinus (Fausto Sozzini, 1539-1604), founder of the Socinian movement, responds to the radical theses of his fellow Antitrinitarian Franciscus Davidis, who condemned every invocation of Christ in prayer as idolatry. What began as an internal dispute among like-minded reformers grew into a theological document of lasting significance - a testimony to how seriously these early thinkers wrestled with the question of the right worship of God.Drawing on minute exegesis of Scripture, Socinus argues that the invocation of Christ is indeed attested in the New Testament - above all by the dying prayer of Stephen, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit' - and that this practice in no way violates the sole worship of the one God, but rather redounds to Christ's highest honor. Against Davidis, and answering the objections of Georgius Blandrata, he distinguishes carefully between what stands expressly written and what may be inferred, weighing Greek terms and biblical formulas of prayer with remarkable precision.Rendered into English from the Latin original, this treatise is a key document for understanding the Antitrinitarian movement and its internal debates. Yet it also poses questions that remain strikingly relevant: How is the veneration of Christ related to the worship of God What role does Christ play in the prayer of the believer And how does one arrive, through the careful reading of Scripture, at binding statements about the worship of God This reading and working edition invites readers not to follow blindly, but to think along - in the spirit of the Apostle Paul's exhortation: 'Test everything; hold fast to what is good.'Essential reading for anyone interested in Reformation history, the roots of Unitarianism, the history of Christian doctrine, and the enduring debate over the worship of Christ.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On the Glory of Christ - A Disputation between Fausto Sozzini and Christian Francken Should religious veneration be accorded to a being who is not God by nature One of the most heated Christological controversies of the 16th century. At the heart of this disputation lies a question that touches upon the very core of the Christian faith: if Christ is a creature and not of the same essence as the Father, as the Council of Nicaea taught - how then can he be accorded the worship that is due to God alone The philosopher Christian Francken argues with relentless logical rigour: the distance between Creator and creature is infinite; consequently, the difference in the honour due to them must also be infinite. To bestow divine worship upon a non-God would contradict the very wisdom of God.Faustus Socinus (1539-1604), founder of Socinianism-named after him-responds with equal parts precision and boldness: God may bestow his glory upon whomever he chooses. Christ's dignity does not stem from a supposed divine nature, but from the sovereign will of the Father, who has exalted his Son and given him all authority. Whoever honours the Son honours the Father who sent him - the worship of Christ is thus not a violation of the first commandment, but its consistent fulfilment. This edition makes one of the most significant texts of early modern Christology available in English for the first time. The accompanying notes reveal the logical structures of the argument - the fallacies that Sozzini exposes in his opponent's reasoning, and the scholastic distinction between what applies in the absolute sense (simpliciter) and what applies in a restricted sense (secundum quid). Here we see the art of disputation at its highest level, applied to a question of existential significance.The volume is supplemented by Socinus's fragments on the non-invocation of Christ (a reply to Franz David), Martin Seidel's letters, and further material that sheds light on a Europe-wide network of anti-Trinitarian scholars - men who often corresponded at the risk of their lives and established a community of free inquiry in Raków. Why this book today Not because its answers need to be adopted, but because its questions remain unavoidable: What does it mean to worship Christ What legitimises religious veneration How do reason and revelation relate to one another when both lay claim to truth 'Test everything; hold on to what is good' - this apostolic imperative hangs over Socinus's entire body of work. An indispensable source text for anyone interested in the history of theology, anti-Trinitarianism, Unitarianism, the history of the Reformation, and the roots of modern freedom of conscience and thought.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Exposition of the Sermon on the Mount - Socinus's Commentary on Matthew 5-7The Sermon on the Mount is regarded as the very heart of Jesus's teaching. Fausto Socinus (1539-1604), one of the most significant theologians of the Reformation era, interpreted it with a philological rigor and intellectual consistency unusual for his century-verse by verse, chapter by chapter.What makes Socinus's exposition distinctiveSocinus does not read the Sermon on the Mount as a pious appeal, but as a coherent discourse of Christ whose inner logic must be uncovered. He begins with the Greek text: What does makarios-'blessed'-really mean What is meant by 'poverty in spirit' How do the Beatitudes in Matthew relate to those in Luke He compares Greek, Syriac, and Latin manuscripts, identifies later textual additions, and distinguishes prophetic speech from mere wisdom teaching. The result is not a dogmatic treatise, but a sustained, thoughtful wrestling with the text.A work left unfinishedSocinus was unable to complete his commentary: the present text breaks off in the middle of chapter 6 of the Gospel of Matthew. Chapter 7-the passages on judging, prayer, and the narrow way-remains without commentary. What we possess, therefore, is a fragment, yet an extraordinarily rich one: hundreds of pages of meticulous exposition showing how a 16th-century thinker examined Scripture with philological precision and theological boldness. It is precisely this unfinished character that lends the work its honesty-the text breaks off, as so much in Socinus's life had to be written under pressure and in exile.Who this book is forThis book is intended for readers who wish to understand the Sermon on the Mount more deeply: those interested in theology, students of the Bible, and anyone who seeks to explore the history of scriptural interpretation beyond confessional boundaries-and for all who share Socinus's conviction that no doctrine should be exempt from the test of reason.'Test everything; hold fast what is good.' - 1 Thessalonians 5:21.…
