Klappentext zu „Bucer, Ephesians and Biblical Humanism “
This book describes Martin Bucer (1491-1551) as a teacher of theology, focusing on his time as Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge between 1549 and 1551. The book is centered on his 1550 Cambridge lectures on Ephesians, and investigates them in their historical context, exploring what sort of a theologian Bucer was. The lectures are examined to find out how they represent Bucer's method of teaching and "doing" theology, and shed light on the relationship between biblical exegesis and theological formulation as he understood it. Divided into two interconnected parts, the book first sets the historical context for the lectures, including a broad sketch of scholastic method in theology and the biblical humanist critique of that method. It then closely examines Bucer's practice in the Cambridge lectures, to show the extent to which he was a theologian of the biblical humanist school, influenced by the method Erasmus set forth in the Ratio Verae Theologiaein which true theology begins, ends, and is best "done" as an exercise in the exegesis of the Word of God.

Dr. Amos received the PhD from the University of St Andrews in 2003, and holds graduate degrees in History (MA, the College of William and Mary), as well as Divinity (M.Div., Th.M., Westminster Theological Seminary). His particular fields of interest are: Martin Bucer, specifically his practice as a theologian and exegete, and his relationship with the English Reformation; Bucer's broader career; the English Reformation more generally; and the history of biblical interpretation.

Pressezitat
"For biblical scholars and systematic theologians this work is significant for trying to understand the integral relationship between the disciplines. ... For the historian of the early modern period Amos gives us a clear understanding of the ecclesial politics in sixteenth-century Cambridge. ... As Protestants celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation this year they would do well to remember the contribution of Martin Bucer and biblical humanism within this global movement. Amos's work helps us do just that." (Brian Lugioyo, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 70 (1), 2017)
