Reviews

"E. J. Furcha, qui avait déjà édité les 280 Paradoxes de cet autre spiritualiste qu'était Sébastien Franck, propose ici une sélection d'écrits de son ami Denck . . . . Cette sélection permet de suivre son passage de l'anababtistisme à un spiritualisme dans le cadre duquel la loi divine, reçue au coeur de l'homme, pousse celui-ci à une sorte de déification par l'amour." _ Études Theologiques et Religieuses

". . . Furcha provides students of the Reformation with a valuable collection of texts from one of the most fascinating radicals of the early 16th century. . . . A comprehensive index of concepts, persons and places as well as a full Scripture index makes the translation particularly valuable." _ Studies in Religion
