A Sleepy Town Awakens by Phil Canova
Gerhard Mercator's (1512-1594) main theological work, previously available only in manuscript form, is presented here for the first time in a critical edition with a German translation. The commentary on the Epistle to the Romans (chapters 1-11) reveals the Duisburg cartographer to be an independent theologian. Engaging critically with the predestination doctrine of John Calvin and Theodor Beza, Mercator defends man's freedom of will and the unconditional goodness of God. His 'doctrinal' interpretation of St. Paul's text sheds light on new previously unexplored aspects of his theological and philosophical thought. This bilingual edition is a valuable source not only for reconstructing the religious foundation of this early modern scholar, but also for researching the cultural conditions under which modern science emerged.Das bislang nur handschriftlich vorliegende theologische Hauptwerk Gerhard Mercators (1512-1594) wird hier erstmals ediert und ins Deutsche bersetzt. Der Kommentar zum R merbrief (Kapitel 1-11) erweist den Duisburger Kartographen als eigenst ndigen Theologen. In kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit den Pr destinationsvorstellungen Johannes Calvins und Theodor Bezas verteidigt Mercator die Willensfreiheit des Menschen sowie die vorbehaltlose G te Gottes. Die 'doktrinale' Auslegung des Paulustextes l sst zahlreiche Facetten des theologischen und philosophischen Denkens Mercators neu oder berhaupt erst sichtbar werden. Mit der zweisprachigen Ausgabe wird eine wertvolle Quelle nicht nur zur Rekonstruktion der religi sen Grundierung des fr hneuzeitlichen Gelehrten, sondern auch zur Erforschung der kulturellen Entstehungsbedingungen moderner Wissenschaft erschlossen.
