John Calvin: A Sixteenth-Century Portrait
ISBN: 9780195059519 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Historians have credited--or blamed--Calvinism for many developments in the modern world, including capitalism, modern science, secularization, democracy, individualism, and unitarianism. These same historians, however, have largely ignored John Calvin the man. When people consider him at all, they tend to view him as little more than the joyless tyrant of Geneva who created an abstract theology as forbidding as himself.
This volume, written by the eminent historian William J. Bouwsma, who has devoted his career to exploring the larger patterns of early modern European history, seeks to...

Waning of the Renaissance, 1550-1640 (Revised)
ISBN: 9780300097177 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Eminent historian William J. Bouwsma here examines the conventional view of the European Renaissance as the root and foundation of modern culture, arguing instead that while it had a beginning and a climax, the Renaissance also had an ending. Bouwsma examines closely the waning of the Renaissance culture of freedom and creativity, and he offers an interpretation of the place of the Renaissance in modern culture. William J. Bouwsma was Sather Professor of History at the University of California, Berkeley.

Without Proof or Evidence
ISBN: 9780803262270 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 161 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Without Proof or Evidence O. K. Bouwsma weaves through the central topics of Western religion: the rationality of religious belief, the nature of Christianity, the promise of eternal life, the definition of faith, and proofs of the existence of God. When he works with the problems of Descartes or Moore or Wittgenstein, surveying the marketplace of language in which we all have commerce, he has the familiarity of an experienced trader. But in his work with the problems of Anselm or Nietzsche or Kierkegaard, in which the Scriptures move between background and foreground, there is...
