The Anabaptists and the Jews: The Example of Hiitzer, Denck and the TomsProphets" James Samuel Beck Master of Arts 2000 Faculty of Wycliffe College, Historical Department of the Toronto School of Theology, University ofSt. Michael's Coilege Abstract: In 1527 in the city of Worms, Ludwig Katzer, with the sterling assistance of Hans Denck, published the first German translation of ~e Prophets fkom the Hebrew text, popularly titled the "Worms Prophets." Martin Luther's criticism of the translation was that it was iduenced too much by the Jews. Until now no effort has been made to ascertain whether there was a Jewish influence on the ccWormsProphets." The purpose of this investigation is to discem the nature and degree of Jewish influence on the transnation. Such an investigation provides an opporhmity to begin to fill the gap in the larger question of the Anabaptists' contacts with and attitudes toward the Jews, a study which b.as been lomg overdue. My study of extemal and interna1 evidence shows that Hatzer and Denck were in contact with certain Jews of the city of Worms and that they made use of Jewish expertise and the long tradition of Rabbinic biblical scholarship to aid them in their translation, Based on the nature of the translation it is safe to Say that this contact reinforced the incipient incginations of Hatzer and Denck away fiom Christian orthodoxy and toward anti-Trirutarianism. The heart of the thesis is a detailed investigation of the annotations to the "Worms Prophets" with the purpose of ident-g the dominamt interpretive tradition which informed the efforts of the tramlators. The evidence reveals that HIattzer and Denck depended primarily on the Jewish interpretive tradition and that the source of trhat tradition was one or more of the Rabbis of Worms.

I wish to Say thank you to Dr. Edith Schipper of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich, Nom Hoebger of the Munich Stadtbibliothek, Doris Lampert at the Hessische Landes- und Hochschulbibliothek in Darmstadt, and Dr. Helmar Hartel at the Herzog Augurt Bibliothek, Wolfenbuettel who all generously assisted me in a circuitous but ultimaiely rewarding intemet search for a very rare document. I am also gratefbl to Lois Bowman and her staffat the Menno Simons Historical Lïtrary, Eastern Mennonite University, Harrisonburg, Virginia who made available their two editions of the Worms Prophets and provided space for three days of research on those volumes. My gratitude also extends to the staffs of the various libraries of the University of Toronto system, particularly the fiendly staff at the Centre for Refomation and Renaissance Stuclies. Individuals to whom I am indebted include Drs. Werner Packull, Victor Thiessen, and Bradley Walton for their valuable assistance with recalcitrant passages in Latin and Geman, and Dr. Richard Ascough for his sfllistic suggestions on the introduction. Three people without whose assistance I simply codd not have managed deserve special mention. Dr. Michael Milway, former curator of The Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies, encouraged me throüghout the project and proofiead an at times very shwfirst draft - including most of the languages in Appendix A! My advisor, Dr. A. J. Reimer, agreed to take me as bis student and encouraged and supported me through some seerningly fallow periods. He read through two dr& of the thesis and his capacity for encouragement and constructive iv cnticism helped to mould the project. Finally, my wife Alicia, while working on her own doctoral program, took time out to assist me in my research on the Worms Prophets at Eastern Mennonite University, gave up her own study space for an extended period of tÏme to facilitate my needs, supported me heroically through dificult times, and continues to love me far beyond my woah. To these three people this thesis is dedicated. While all of the above-mentioned people contributed generously to the qudity of this project, any and all errors that remain are my own. By the way, if you cmhear me, Uncle Bob Sloane, I'm finaily finished tbat thesis! Introduction With the rise of the Radical Reformation,' the Jews were no longer the only discemible religious minoïity in Western Europe, and the Radicals were persecuted with a similar kind of zeal that had been accorded to the Jeivs in the past, in a Last doomed effort to preserve the UILity of what had been European Chn~tendorn.~This persecution brought the sects of the Radical Reformation to sr comparable existentid level of exile and persecution that had been the lot of Jews for centuries. Finding themselves in similar sociai circumstances, the logic of the Anabaptist sociai views and their emphasis on the importance of the Law brought them closer to the thinking of the Jews. In a simdar state of powerlessness in the midst of crisis, the Anabaptists developed a strong sense of Messianic expectation that very possibly was ionuenced by a similar Messianic fervour among the Jews at the tirne.) ' The terrns "Radical Reformation" and "Anabaptism" will not be used interchangeably. Radical Reformation was a term coined by G.H. Williams in an effort to provide a more accurate name for what Roland Bahton had called the Lefi Wing of the Reformation. While both terms are not without diffrculty and considerable debate, here the Radical Reformation will be understood in terms similar to those expressed by Williams in his remarkable monograph of the same name and includes a11 the radicalizing impulses in the Refomation movement, of which Anabaptism is understood to be a founding group, and out of which a number of the other radical sects deveIoped.

Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief.

  • The Well-Trained Theologian
    THE WELL-TRAINED THEOLOGIAN essential texts for retrieving classical Christian theology part 1, patristic and medieval Matthew Barrett Credo 2020 Over the last several decades, evangelicalism’s lack of roots has become conspicuous. Many years ago, I experienced this firsthand as a university student and eventually as a seminary student. Books from the past were segregated to classes in church history, while classes on hermeneutics and biblical exegesis carried on as if no one had exegeted scripture prior to the Enlightenment. Sometimes systematics suffered from the same literary amnesia. When I first entered the PhD system, eager to continue my theological quest, I was given a long list of books to read just like every other student. Looking back, I now see what I could not see at the time: out of eight pages of bibliography, you could count on one hand the books that predated the modern era. I have taught at Christian colleges and seminaries on both sides of the Atlantic for a decade now and I can say, in all honesty, not much has changed. As students begin courses and prepare for seminars, as pastors are trained for the pulpit, they are not required to engage the wisdom of the ancient past firsthand or what many have labelled classical Christianity. Such chronological snobbery, as C. S. Lewis called it, is pervasive. The consequences of such a lopsided diet are now starting to unveil themselves. Recent controversy over the Trinity, for example, has manifested our ignorance of doctrines like eternal generation, a doctrine not only basic to biblical interpretation and Christian orthodoxy for almost two centuries, but a doctrine fundamental to the church’s Christian identity.

  • Seeds of the Reformation
    Seeds of the Reformation Dr Nick Needham Church History | The Sword & Trowel 2017, issue 1 Seeds that blossomed into the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century – the various factors in the late medieval world that made the Reformation possible and pointed the way towards it – movements of thought and outstanding personalities. Some people like to see the Protestant Reformation as a celestial ‘bolt from the blue’, a miraculous restoration of apostolic Christianity which God (so to speak) dropped into history straight down from Heaven. That view once held sway in the English- speaking Protestant world. It was, however, strongly challenged in the middle of the 19th century by two reformed giants of historical-theological thinking, John Williamson Nevin and Philip Schaff of Mercersburg Seminary in Pennsylvania. Nevin was himself American, trained under Charles Hodge at Princeton, while Schaff was an English-speaker from Switzerland. I must admit my personal bias, and acknowledge that I have always been an admirer of the lives and work of Nevin and Schaff. (By the way, Schaff’s eight- volume History of the Christian Church is still a masterpiece worthy of our affection and attention. It combines depth of scholarship, flowing style, rich biographical colour, and spirituality of tone.) However, personal bias aside, the arguments of Nevin and Schaff won the day. The Reformation was no heavenly bolt from the blue. It grew organically out of the history that went before it. There were many historical roots that sprouted forth in the 16th century into the fruits of Reformation Protestantism. The historian can perceive and analyse those roots.

  • Beyond the Bosphorus: the Holy Land in English Reformation Literature, 1516-1596
    BEYOND THE BOSPHORUS: THE HOLY LAND IN ENGLISH REFORMATION LITERATURE, 1516-1596 Jerrod Nathan Rosenbaum A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Jessica Wolfe Patrick O’Neill Mary Floyd-Wilson Reid Barbour Megan Matchinske ©2019 Jerrod Nathan Rosenbaum ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jerrod Rosenbaum: Beyond the Bosphorus: The Holy Land in English Reformation Literature, 1516-1596 (Under the direction of Jessica Wolfe) This dissertation examines the concept of the Holy Land, for purposes of Reformation polemics and apologetics, in sixteenth-century English Literature. The dissertation focuses on two central texts that are indicative of two distinct historical moments of the Protestant Reformation in England. Thomas More's Utopia was first published in Latin at Louvain in 1516, roughly one year before the publication of Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses signaled the commencement of the Reformation on the Continent and roughly a decade before the Henrician Reformation in England. As a humanist text, Utopia contains themes pertinent to internal Church reform, while simultaneously warning polemicists and ecclesiastics to leave off their paltry squabbles over non-essential religious matters, lest the unity of the Church catholic be imperiled. More's engagement with the Holy Land is influenced by contemporary researches into the languages of that region, most notably the search for the original and perfect language spoken before the episode at Babel. As the confusion of tongues at Babel functions etiologically to account for the origin of all ideological conflict, it was thought that the rediscovery of the prima lingua might resolve all conflict.

Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • The Secret of the Strength What Would the Anabaptists Tell This Generation?
    The Secret of the Strength What Would the Anabaptists Tell This Generation? Peter Hoover This is the 2008 version of the text, with the original introduction, forward, cover picture, etc. The text has been revised, but is substantially the same as the original text, with the addition of pictures. Other inspiring books are available at: www.PrimitiveChristianity.org Introduction I well remember the first time I faced the stark realization that I was a Mennonite and different. My fourth-grade friend, Gregory, and I were riding home from public school on the bus. We were talking about our future, how we would always be friends and do things together when we grew up. Then he enthusiastically began to describe activities that from my upbringing I knew to be worldly. Desperate to save our lifelong friendship, I turned to Gregory and said, “You will have to leave your church and become a Mennonite when you grow up.” Thus, the inevitability of our way of life impressed itself on my eight-year-old mind. A year later I made my decision to follow Christ. Of course, Gregory never joined my church, and I do not even know his whereabouts today. The theme of separation from the world ran strong in the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania where I grew up. But I wrongly assumed that, except for our plainness, we believed the same things that other Christians believed. Then one evening at the Chambersburg Mennonite Church, where I was a member, a visiting speaker jolted me with a graphic picture of my martyr heritage.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Balthasar Hubmaier and the Authority of the Church Fathers
    Balthasar Hubmaier and the Authority of the Church Fathers ANDREW P. KLAGER In Anabaptist historical scholarship, the reluctance to investigate the authority of the church fathers for individual sixteenth-century Anabaptist leaders does not appear to be intentional. Indeed, more pressing issues of a historiographical and even apologetical nature have been a justifiable priority, 1 and soon this provisional Anabaptist vision was augmented by studies assessing the possibility of various medieval chronological antecedents. 2 However, in response to Kenneth Davis’ important study, Anabaptism and Asceticism , Peter Erb rightly observed back in 1976 that “. one must not fail to review the abiding influence of the Fathers . [whose] monitions were much more familiar to our sixteenth-century ancestors than they are to us.” 3 Over thirty years later, the Anabaptist community still awaits its first published comprehensive study of the reception of the church fathers among Anabaptist leaders in the sixteenth century. 4 A natural place to start, however, is the only doctor of theology in the Anabaptist movement, Balthasar Hubmaier. In the final analysis, it becomes evident that Hubmaier does view the church fathers as authoritative, contextually understood, for some theological issues that were important to him, notably his anthropology and understanding of the freedom of the will, while he acknowledged the value of the church fathers for the corollary of free will, that is, believers’ baptism, and this for apologetico-historical purposes. This authority, however, cannot be confused with an untested, blind conformity to prescribed precepts because such a definition of authority did not exist in the sixteenth-century, even among the strongest Historical Papers 2008: Canadian Society of Church History 134 Balthasar Hubmaier admirers of the fathers.
