This chapter examines two treatises of Chandieu, written in 1577 while he and his family resided in Lausanne, and then draws conclusions about the state of his scholastic method at that time. Both works engage Roman Catholic theologians on whether the Reformed pastors could be considered to have been lawfully ordained. One of these is the first of Chandieu’s works to argue by way of overt syllogisms. Further, in conversation with previous scholarship, the chapter explores the influence of the Lausanne philosopher Claude Aubery upon the positions of Chandieu with regard to Aristotle’s logic. Contrary to some earlier scholarship, the influence of Aubery is found not to be significant. The Lutheran Jacob Schegk appears likelier than Aubery to have influenced Chandieu in his appeal to Aristotle’s Analytics .
Antoine de Chandieu
The first study in any language dedicated to the influential theological publications of Antoine de Chandieu begins by introducing us to the memory of Chandieu as it was at Theodore Beza’s death. Poets in Geneva mourned the end of an era of star theologians by reminiscing about Geneva’s Reformed triumvirate of gold, silver, and bronze: gold represented Calvin (d. 1564); silver Chandieu (d. 1591); and bronze Beza (d. 1605). The present work sets C…
Keeping a Firm and Certain Faith in the Inspired Word
This chapter surveys all of De Verbo Dei Scripto (i.e., Concerning the Written Word of God ) in some detail. Significant translated sections are provided. The careful structure followed by Chandieu in this treatise of 1580 will be utilized by him in five further “theological and scholastic” treatises of that decade, and thus this structure is uniquely important. Besides Chandieu’s close adherence throughout to this intricate disputational structu…
Theology as a Science That Benefits from a Scholastic Method
Chandieu considered theology to be a “science” in the classical sense of the term, much like Thomas Aquinas. In this chapter Chandieu’s important introduction to his programmatic treatise of 1580 is subjected to careful scrutiny. Its importance is underlined by the fact that he expanded it before his death for inclusion in his Opera Theologica . Here he roots his reasons for using scholastic method in the needs of pedagogy, the nature of Scriptur…
