Hardcover. Gerhard Mercator's (15121594) 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 111) 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 doctrinal 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 (15121594) wird hier erstmals ediert und ins Deutsche uebersetzt. Der Kommentar zum Roemerbrief (Kapitel 111) erweist den Duisburger Kartographen als eigenstaendigen Theologen. In kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit den Praedestinationsvorstellungen Johannes Calvins und Theodor Bezas verteidigt Mercator die Willensfreiheit des Menschen sowie die vorbehaltlose Guete Gottes. Die doktrinale Auslegung des Paulustextes laesst zahlreiche Facetten des theologischen und philosophischen Denkens Mercators neu oder ueberhaupt erst sichtbar werden. Mit der zweisprachigen Ausgabe wird eine wertvolle Quelle nicht nur zur Rekonstruktion der religioesen Grundierung des fruehneuzeitlichen Gelehrten, sondern auch zur Erforschung der kulturellen Entstehungsbedingungen moderner Wissenschaft erschlossen.

Das bislang nur handschriftlich vorliegende theologische Hauptwerk Gerhard Mercators (1512-1594) wird hier erstmals ediert und ins Deutsche übersetzt. Der Kommentar zum Römerbrief (Kapitel 1-11) erweist den Duisburger Kartographen als eigenständigen Theologen. In kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit den Prädestinationsvorstellungen Johannes Calvins und Theodor Bezas verteidigt Mercator die Willensfreiheit des Menschen sowie die vorbehaltlose Güte Gottes. Die 'doktrinale' Auslegung des Paulustextes lässt zahlreiche Facetten des theologischen und philosophischen Denkens Mercators neu oder überhaupt erst sichtbar werden. Mit der zweisprachigen Ausgabe wird eine wertvolle Quelle nicht nur zur Rekonstruktion der religiösen Grundierung des frühneuzeitlichen Gelehrten, sondern auch zur Erforschung der kulturellen Entstehungsbedingungen moderner Wissenschaft erschlossen.
