From Judaism to Calvinism: The Life and Writings of Immanuel Tremellius (c.1510-1580)

This book provides the first full-length study of the influential biblical scholar Immanuel Tremellius (1510-1580) since the late nineteenth century. It traces his conversion from Judaism, through Catholicism, to Protestantism, where he established a reputation as the leading scholar of Hebraic studies in Europe. Teaching at leading Reformed academies and universities, and publishing new Latin translations of both the Old and New Testaments, Tremellius's life not only reveals much about Reformation scholarship, but also about its attitudes to Jews and Jewish studies in an age of rapidly shifting theological doctrines.
