{"product_id":"inventing-authority-esther-chung-kim-9781602584709","title":"Inventing Authority: The Use of the Church Fathers in Reformation Debates Over the Eucharist","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdding great historical insight to the events of the sixteenth century, \u003ci\u003eInventing Authority\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers how and why the Protestant reformers came, in their dissent from the Catholic church, to turn to the Church Fathers and align their movements with the early church. Discovering that the reformers most frequently appealed to patristic sources in polemical contexts, Esther Chung-Kim adeptly traces the variety and creativity of their appeals to their forebears in order to support their arguments--citing them to be authoritative for being \"exemplary scriptural exegetes\" to \"instruments of choice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamining three generations of sixteenth-century reformers--from such heavy-weights as Calvin and Luther to lesser-known figures like Oecolampadius and Hesshusen--Chung-Kim offers an analysis of striking breadth, one that finds its center by focusing in on the perennially contentious topic of the Eucharist. Filling a significant lacuna in the early history of the Lutheran and Reformed traditions, \u003ci\u003eInventing Authority\u003c\/i\u003e is an important and eye-opening contribution to Reformation studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Esther Chung-Kim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602584702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602584709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baylor University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Esther Chung-Kim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069697126655,"sku":"9781602584709","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0b9f641e-01d9-4bc7-bd55-10f9749a0f90.jpg?v=1685425994","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inventing-authority-esther-chung-kim-9781602584709","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
