Recenzje

In The Zurich Origins of Reformed Covenant Theology the author draws a crystal clear map of the road that the biblical concept of the covenant took in theological reflection from Zwingli to Bullinger. A detour takes the reader from Zurich to Geneva. The main route leads to Heidelberg where a younger generation, Ursinus and Olevian, followed the lead of the Zurich fathers. Pierrick Hildebrand is a young scholar who takes Reformation studies a firm stride forwards, critically engaging with older studies and neutralizing anachronistic concepts. Bringing valuable unpublished sources to the table, the author enriches our understanding of the Reformed doctrine of the covenant. Both the academy and churches can profit from this offspring of Zurich scholarship.
