| book description |

Gerhard Mercator's (1512â€“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 1â€“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 â€˜doctrinalâ€™ 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 (1512â€“1594) wird hier erstmals ediert und ins Deutsche Ã¼bersetzt. Der Kommentar zum RÃ¶merbrief (Kapitel 1â€“11) erweist den Duisburger Kartographen als eigenstÃ¤ndigen Theologen. In kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit den PrÃ¤destinationsvorstellungen Johannes Calvins und Theodor Bezas verteidigt Mercator die Willensfreiheit des Menschen sowie die vorbehaltlose GÃ¼te Gottes. Die â€šdoktrinaleâ€˜ Auslegung des Paulustextes lÃ¤sst zahlreiche Facetten des theologischen und philosophischen Denkens Mercators neu oder Ã¼berhaupt erst sichtbar werden. Mit der zweisprachigen Ausgabe wird eine wertvolle Quelle nicht nur zur Rekonstruktion der religiÃ¶sen Grundierung des frÃ¼hneuzeitlichen Gelehrten, sondern auch zur Erforschung der kulturellen Entstehungsbedingungen moderner Wissenschaft erschlossen.
