The Gospel of John in the Sixteenth Century: the Johannine Exegesis of Wolfgang Musculus

      Oxford University Press. New This study of Johannine exegesis in the sixteenth century covers nearly every important commentator on John from the first half of the century, and examines the medieval and patristic traditions on which they drew. But while comprehensive in its scope, this book centers on the John commentaryof Wolfgang Musculus (1497-1563), an influential leader of the Protestant Reformation in the cities of Augsburg and Bern. As a theologian and biblical scholar, he authored a large number of theological and exegetical works which remained popular well into the seventeenth century. Despite hisinfluence, however, Musculus has been virtually ignored by modern scholarship on the Reformation. ISBN10: 0195099036.
