Abstract

The English Hebraist John Lightfoot has a Janus-faced legacy. On the one hand, he is known among historians of the British Reformation for his participation in the Westminster Assembly (1643 – 52), for which his journal remains a crucial source of evidence. On the other hand, among historians of scholarship, he is famous primarily for his Horae Hebraicae et Talmudicae (1658 – 78), an unprecedentedly thorough application of Hebrew scholarship to New Testament exegesis, now recognized as a milestone of biblical criticism. This article brings these facets of Lightfoot's legacy together by arguing that there are extensive connections between Lightfoot's contributions in the Westminster Assembly and his conclusions in the Horae. In doing so, it argues not only for the vitality and centrality of Jewish texts and learning to the history of the long Reformation, but also for the importance of theology and controversy to the history of scholarship.

约翰·莱特富特(John Lightfoot, 1602-1675)，威斯敏斯特议会，以及希伯来和塔木底亚教会

英国希伯来人约翰·莱特富特（John Lightfoot）有一个面向Janus的遗产。一方面，他因参与威斯敏斯特会议（1643年）而在英国宗教改革历史学家中广为人知 – 52），他的日记仍然是重要的证据来源。另一方面，在学术历史学家中，他主要以其著作《荷拉·赫布里卡埃与塔木迪卡埃》（Horae Hebaicae et Talmudicae，1658）而闻名 – 78），这是希伯来文学术在新约注释中前所未有的彻底应用，现在被认为是圣经批评的里程碑。这篇文章将莱特富特遗产的这些方面结合在一起，认为莱特富特在威斯敏斯特议会的贡献与他在《贺兰》中的结论之间有着广泛的联系。在这样做的过程中，它不仅论证了犹太文本和学术对长期宗教改革历史的活力和中心地位，还论证了神学和争议对学术史的重要性。
