The contribution, after a short overview of Bucer’s general attitude towards the Church Fathers, focuses on the presence of Origen in the writings of Martin Bucer. Differently from other Reformers, who rejected Origen and his allegorical exegesis completely, Bucer referred often to the Alexandrian Father and quoted him as an historical witness of religious practices common to Reformation and to the early Church (like the infant baptism). More important, Bucer knew and employed Origen’s biblical interpretation as a source of inspiration for his own exegetical practice, as his Commentary to the Romans plainly testify.

Abstract

The contribution, after a short overview of Bucer’s general attitude towards the Church Fathers, focuses on the presence of Origen in the writings of Martin Bucer. Differently from other Reformers, who rejected Origen and his allegorical exegesis completely, Bucer referred often to the Alexandrian Father and quoted him as an historical witness of religious practices common to Reformation and to the early Church (like the infant baptism). More important, Bucer knew and employed Origen’s biblical interpretation as a source of inspiration for his own exegetical practice, as his Commentary to the Romans plainly testify.
