  • Jan Krans, Beyond What Is Written: Erasmus and Beza As Conjectural Critics of the New Testament
    124 Reviews / ERSY 29 (2009) 103–143 Jan Krans, Beyond What Is Written: Erasmus and Beza as Conjectural Critics of the New Testament. New Testament Tools and Studies 35 (Leiden: Brill, 2006). viii, 384 pp. ISBN 978-90-04-15286-1. Jan Krans’ book is a reworking of his 2004 doctoral thesis, completed under the supervision of Professor Martin de Boer at the Faculty of Theology, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam. A specialist in New Testament exegesis, Krans offers a careful study of how Erasmus and Theodore Beza worked to produce their critical editions of the sacred text. Of great importance for Krans’ study is an analysis of the textual conjectures in their exegesis of the New Testament. The appeal of this approach, of interest not only to biblical scholars but also to those studying humanism, is that it illuminates Erasmus’ and Beza’s methodologies. Above all, Krans is interested in the grounds on which these scholars chose their proposed readings. Indeed, looking beyond the received text and the conjectures, too often studied in and for themselves, Krans seeks to study the hermeneutical foundations of the texts and the conditions under which they were produced. The choice of Erasmus and Beza are natural ones, as both are foundational to modern editions of the New Testament. Consequently, Krans is not only interested in their treatment of the Greek text but in the entirety of their biblical work. As the author underlines in the introduction and epilogue, “judgement of conjectures should be preceded by knowledge of their authors” (333). The first section (7–191) is dedicated to the work of Erasmus.

For the body of the city mourned the prophet of the Lord” (CO 21: 45-6). This is not the only time Beza referred to Calvin as a prophet. In his vita Calvini, Beza wrote: “Calvin in the dedication of his Lectures on the prophet Daniel to the French churches declares, in a prophetic voice, that tempestuous and severe trials were hanging over their heads” (CO 21: 91).1 Study of prophets and prophecy in the medieval and reformation eras is hardly new. A myriad number of people—Birgitta of Sweden (Fogelqvist: 1993), Joachim of Fiore (Reeves: 1969; McGinn: 1985), Girolamo Savanarola (Herzig: 2008), Jan Hus (Oberman: 1999, 135- 67; Haberkern: 2016), Martin Luther (Preuss: 1933; Kolb: 1999; Oberman: 1999, 135-67), Ulrich Zwingli (Büsser: 1950, Opitz: 2007, 2: 493-513; Opitz: 2017), Heinrich Bullinger 1 Beza left Lausanne for Geneva in November 1558, see “Le départ de Bèze et son remplacement” (see Beza: 1962, II, Annexe XIV).

  • Calvin, Beza, and Amyraut on the Extent of the Atonement
    CALVIN, BEZA, AND AMYRAUT ON THE EXTENT OF THE ATONEMENT by Matthew S. Harding Ph.D. (Cand.) Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2013 D. Min. New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, 2009 M. Ed. University of Arkansas, 2008 M.Div. Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, 1999 B.A. University of Tennessee, 1995 November 29, 2012 CALVIN, BEZA, AND AMYRAUT ON THE EXTENT OF THE ATONEMENT Introduction The question of the extent of Christ’s atonement in John Calvin’s theology, whether he embraced a universalist or particularist understanding, continues to be a perennial debate within contemporary historical theology. Closely linked, the question whether the tradition that bears Calvin’s name today within Reformed theology is the harmless by-product of natural progression and development from Calvin’s seminal thoughts or a gross misrepresentation of a philosophical system that has clearly departed from Calvin’s theological method, also continues to be contested within evangelical academia. The late Brian G. Armstrong, who in his own right reignited the debate in the 1960s concerning the possible departure of the Reformed tradition from Calvin’s theology, essentially pleads in his work, Calvinism and the Amyraut Heresy, for more aggressive Calvin research into the claims and theology of seventeenth century humanist, Moïse Amyraut, who claimed to represent Calvin’s purest theology as opposed to the new orthodox tradition.1 In his penultimate scholarly endeavor, Armstrong contends that 1In Armstrong’s main text, he worked off the initial thesis by Basil Hall (1965) that Orthodox Reformed Theology of the 18th century to present had indeed departed from the more faithful understanding of Calvin’s soteriology, especially concerning the nature of the atonement.
