In pointing out one disappointment, I was not meaning to discount in any way the countless joys - I am still delighting in the Abendmahl returning to Niccolai's piece!William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1170297754483084622007-01-31T20:42:00.000-06:002007-01-31T20:42:00.000-06:00I think the TLH does skate closer to the German.

I agree that the primary referent to "Geistern" here is the pope and crew, but the choice of that word clearly implies the demonic to my ear auf Deutsch. Of course, I'm no native speaker!William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1170292610394555922007-01-31T19:16:00.000-06:002007-01-31T19:16:00.000-06:00Here's the German:Den stolzen Geistern wehre doch,...Here's the German:<BR/><BR/>Den stolzen Geistern wehre doch,<BR/>Die sich mit G'walt erheben hoch<BR/>Und bringen stets was Neues her,<BR/>Zu fäelschn deine rechte Lehr'. <BR/><BR/>JonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1170292416614754742007-01-31T19:13:00.000-06:002007-01-31T19:13:00.000-06:00Bill, We should indeed both check the German on th...Bill, <BR/><BR/>We should indeed both check the German on this, but I wouldn't necessarily read TLH's "haughty spirits" as referring to the demonic--certainly not exclusively. Put in the context of Sellnecker's 16th-century Germany, this line could be read as being aimed at the prideful spirit embodied in the abuses of bishops, and most profoundly, the papacy--reigning over the church with "might" and devising new doctrines that diminish Christ and the Gospel. <BR/><BR/>IOW, such a prideful spirit usually takes action in the church through people--indeed, even people who would claim the holy name of Christ. <BR/><BR/>FWIW,<BR/><BR/>JonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
