Riforma del cattolicesimo? Le attività e le scelte di Pio X ed. by Giuliano Brugnotto, Gianpaolo Romanato (review)

Abstract

Reuchlin (1455–1522) (Berlin/Boston, 2015), Reuchlin advised obedience to the devise of Mt 13:30 that one should not pull up one with the other (see his Expert Opinion for the emperor of 1510, Recommendation Whether to Confiscate, Destroy and Burn All Jewish Books). In the Age of Enlightenment, Mt 13:30 was used by Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Pierre Bayle, Voltaire, Immanuel Kant—each in his own way. Chapter VI covers the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (Modern Religious Liberty). Flaws are found in the index of names where the given pages usually are removed by two page numbers. Unfortunately, there is no list of abbreviations that were used. Nevertheless, Angenendt’s study is to be highly recommended. Endnotes are copious and comprise pages 185–212. The list of source material is given on nine pages (pp. 213–221). The bibliography is gigantic (pp. 222–240). Instead of “Marin Bucer” it should read Martin Bucer (p. 218). This book demonstrates that church history is essentially the history of Bible interpretation.
