Aristotle's moral and political thought formed the backbone of education in practical philosophy for centuries during the classical and medieval periods. It has often been presumed, however, that with the advent of the Protestant Reformation, this tradition was broken. Originally a topic belonging to Roman Catholic polemics, this interpretation of Protestant relations with Aristotle gradually became a part of the Protestant self-understanding as well. Lack of engagement with the actual curriculum of early Protestant schools allowed Luther's dismissive comments on Aristotle to be taken as representative of early Protestant teaching. In The Aristotelian Tradition in Early Modern Protestantism Manfred Svensson shows how the days of this view as a dominant narrative are over. Between 1529 and 1670, Protestants published around 55 commentaries on the Ethics and around 15 on the Politics, several of these in numerous editions. In academies and universities in Lutheran and Reformed territories throughout the Reformation and post-Reformation era, the exposition of these works continued to form the backbone of moral and political education. This tradition has, however, largely flown under the radar and is now for the first time presented in a comprehensive way. Offering a discussion of the medieval context and debt to Renaissance Aristotelianism, Svensson maps the relationships between these commentaries and their authors, presenting their shared understanding of practical philosophy in its relation to the Christian faith and offering in-depth discussions of key ethical and political concepts.

It is widely acknowledged that appeals to tolerance are not as persuasive as they once were. Some argue that such calls simply reinforce the permissiveness that plagues our society. Others argue that tolerance does not go far enough and that positive recognition of differences should be our aim. To these, tolerance is judgmental and insulting. In response to these critiques, some seek to recover the lost foundations of tolerance as a virtue of coexistence without reciprocal affirmation. As An Augustinian Essay on Toleration shows, many of the problems affecting contemporary tolerance discourse were already present in the early modern world, where these lost foundations are typically sought. This explains the need for this more radical project of recovery that draws from Augustine and the Augustinian tradition. Like other classical authors, Augustine treats tolerance as a virtue needed in the face of adversity and evil. Unlike these other authors, however, Augustine offers deep philosophical reflections on evil that provide relevant reasons for toleration. This book demonstrates that Augustine's views on evil, history, personhood, conflict, and hope are consistent with a constructive Augustinian view of tolerance. The book discusses the nature of tolerance as a virtue, its place as a political practice, and questions of toleration that arise in relation to intermediate associations.

AQUINAS AMONG THE PROTESTANTS This major new book provides an introduction to Thomas Aquinas’s influence on Protestantism. The editors, both noted commentators on Aquinas, bring together a group of influential scholars to demonstrate the ways that Anglican, Lutheran, and Reformed thinkers have analyzed and used Thomas through the centuries. Later chapters also explore how today’s Protestants might appropriate the work of Aquinas to address a number of contemporary theological and philosophical issues. The authors set the record straight and disavow the widespread impression that Aquinas is an irrelevant figure for the history of Protestant thought. This assumption has dominated not only Protestant historiography but also Roman Catholic accounts of the Reformation and Protestant intellectual life. The book opens the possibility for contemporary reception, engagement, and critique and even intra-Protestant relations and includes: Information on the fruitful appropriation of Aquinas in Anglican, Lutheran, and Reformed theologians over the centuriesImportant essays from leading scholars on the teachings of AquinasNew perspectives on Thomas Aquinas’s position as a towering figure in the history of Christian thoughtAquinas Among the Protestants is a ground-breaking and interdenominational work for students and scholars of Thomas Aquinas and theology more generally.

This book challenges the modern myth that tolerance grows as societies become less religious. The myth inseparably links the progress of toleration to the secularization of modern society. This volume scrutinizes this grand narrative theoretically and empirically, and proposes alternative accounts of the varied relationships between diverse interpretations of religion and secularity and multiple secularizations, desecularizations, and forms of toleration. The authors show how both secular and religious orthodoxies inform toleration and persecution, and how secularizations and desecularizations engender repressive or pluralistic regimes. Ultimately, the book offers an agency-focused perspective which links the variation in toleration and persecution to the actors of secularization and desecularization and their cultural programs.

Reforma protestante y tradición intelectual cristiana aborda la tarea de interpretación no solo desde las raíces patrísticas del temprano pensamiento protestante, sino también desde su relación con el pensamiento medieval. Extendiéndose hasta finales del siglo XVII, la obra se ocupa también de cómo la Reforma misma, junto a la tradición que la precede, fue recibida en la cultura universitaria del naciente protestantismo

Clive Staples Lewis (1989-1963) más conocido como C.S. Lewis, es uno de los escritores más conocidos y más leídos del siglo XX. Sus "Crónicas de Narnia", traducidas a más de 30 idiomas y con millones de ejemplares vendidos, han sido lectura favorita de varias generaciones, y adaptadas al cine por Disney, han deleitado y fascinado recientemente a millones personas. Y la obra cumbre del cineasta Richard Attenborough, "Tierras de penumbra", que narra la emotiva relación de Lewis con su esposa, la también escritora Joy Gresham que murió de cáncer a los 45 años, arrancó abundantes lágrimas a numerosos espectadores. No es tan conocido, sin embargo, el hecho de que el polifacético C.S. Lewis, erudito académico, profesor de literatura medieval y renacentista, crítico literario, locutor de radio, escritor y ensayista, fue también uno de los más grandes pensadores y apologistas cristianos de su época. Y que a pesar de que ser ateo en su juventud y declararse "muy molesto con Dios por no existir", después que de su conversión a los treinta años por influencia de J. R. R. Tolkien y G. K. Chesterton, su libro "Cristianismo…¡y nada más!" (o "Mero Cristianismo) adaptado de una serie de charlas radiofónicas en la BBC, se convirtió en un clásico de la apologética cristiana.

Este libro, busca presentar e introducir el pensamiento de Bonhoeffer a las nuevas generaciones del siglo XXI, entendiendo por pensamiento de Bonhoeffer, no solo los problemas específicos de su teología, sino también su mirada siempre cristocéntrica de teólogo sobre la espiritualidad, la ética, la política y lo social. Partiendo sus propias palabras, sacadas de sus libros, artículos, cartas, o incluso circulares a sus alumnos y a miembros de la Iglesia Confesante, el autor deja que el propio Bonhoeffer se explique a sí mismo a lo largo de la obra, evitando las interpretaciones o usos parciales y fragmentarios que se han hecho de él, por no mencionar el abuso de su pensamiento para otros fines. Una obra de sorprendente actualidad, que estamos seguros será, no tan solo valorada y apreciada por los teólogos, sino también útil a muchos pastores, que precisan entender y transmitir mejor en sus predicaciones que creer es comprometerse, el precio de la gracia; y por muchos profesores y estudiantes universitarios cristianos, a veces faltos de argumentos a la hora de presentar y defender, en sus entornos académicos, la aportación del cristianismo en la construcción de un mundo mejor, de una sociedad más justa y más humana, de probar el sentido y realidad de la resistencia cristiana.

Considerado por algunos como padre del existencialismo y por otros como impulsor de una nueva concepción de la fe cristiana basada en el compromiso individual, el filósofo, teólogo y prolífico escritor danés Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), ha tenido una influencia crucial tanto en el pensamiento filosófico como en la teología actual. Su padre, un rico comerciante, practicaba un luteranismo estricto y vivía obsesionado por sus temores y concepciones de culpabilidad pecaminosa que le atormentaban constantemente. Ello influyó de manera muy profunda en el carácter y pensamiento de Sören, que al estudiar teología y filosofía en la Universidad de Copenhague y entrar en contacto con la filosofía hegeliana, contra la que reaccionó con apasionamiento, pero que le llevó a abandonar la práctica religiosa y adoptar por un tiempo una vida social bastante desenfrenada. Tras la muerte de su padre en 1838, decidió reemprender sus estudios teológicos, y en 1840 se comprometió con Regine Olson, una chica de 17 años; pero muy pronto se dio cuenta de su incapacidad para mantener una relación y vivir en pareja a causa de su naturaleza melancólica y de su vocación filosófica. Convencido de que tampoco quería ser pastor, utilizó la herencia recibida de su padre para dedicarse por completo al pensamiento filosófico y a escribir sus más de veinte obras. En ellas arremete contra la iglesia luterana danesa, a la que consideraba frívola y racionalista, donde la ejercitación de la fe equivalía a una mera costumbre social, y defiende un cristianismo que, tomando conciencia del pecado, se atreve a ser ante Dios, sin vanos apoyos en la comunidad. El cristiano es aquel que desespera de las convenciones sociales, para buscar a Dios desde el fondo de su existencia. Para él, ser cristiano no es seguir una creencia o una costumbre, sino a una Persona, una forma de vida guiada por la fe en el Cristo vivo, que hace posible la "contemporaneidad" con Él.
