Viac o knihe

The study delves into Oecolampadius's 1534 commentary on Hebrews, originating from his theology lectures at the University of Basel. Jeff Fisher analyzes Oecolampadius's exegesis alongside over twenty-five significant interpreters from early church history to the Reformation. He highlights how Oecolampadius's Christoscopic interpretation, influenced by Alexandrian thought, played a crucial role in the evolution toward Reformed interpretative methods, paving the way for later figures like John Calvin.
