Constantino de la Fuente (San Clemente, 1502-Seville, 1560)
124,00 €
Frances Luttikhuizen traces Constantino de la Fuente's religious experience from the Erasmian influence at Alcalá de Henares during his university days in the 1520s to being the main spokesperson for the evangelistic tendencies emerging in Spain in the 1550s. His theology shows strong parallels with the renovating current within the Catholic Church of the first half of the 15th century, which emphasised a genuine, personal religious experience, an "inner Christianity" that highlighted the doctrine of justification by faith and downplayed external rites and the invocation of saints. Constantino's sermons on Psalm 1-of which the first translation into English is appended-provides an example of both his preaching style and his theology.
