This thoughtful study of Jerome Zanchi's reformed scholastic Christology is divided into three sections containing six chapters in total. The first section takes its title from that of the book. The second and third, ‘The Hypostatic Union’ and ‘The Consequences of the Union’, respectively, bring the study into sharper focus. Jerome Zanchi, an Italian theologian born in Alazano (near Bergamo) in 1516, was a younger contemporary of two other significant Italian converts to Protestantism, namely, Bernardino Ochino and Peter Martyr Vermigli. A prolific writer, Zanchi is generally known today because of Augustus Toplady (1740–78), who translated a work by Zanchi which Toplady entitled The doctrine of absolute predestination and which was published in 1769. The (many) other works which make up Zanchi's corpus have only come to the attention of scholars recently. Lindholm's volume represents the first focused work on Zanchi's Christology by a modern author. The first and second chapters introduce some of the major philosophical issues associated with Reformed Christology and provide contextual information and a biographical sketch of Zanchi. With the groundwork laid, the four succeeding chapters deepen treatment of the Italian's theology, with material devoted to topics such as the relationship between Zanchi's Christological thought and the Reformed principles of the Extra Calvinisticum and the Non Capax (i.e. ‘Finitum non capax infiniti’). The final chapter is dedicated to ‘the notion of presence’. Lindholm is a fine writer and clear thinker. He does an admirable job of keeping his analysis of Zanchi within close proximity of the thought of patristic, medieval and early modern theologians and of the conclusions of modern scholarship on Zanchi and his contemporaries. The larger historical-theological context of Zanchi's Christological work is the increasingly vituperative conflict between the Reformed and the Lutherans during the period of (so-called) confessionalisation. Accordingly disputes punctuate the volume, with particular attention being paid to debates between Zanchi and Martin Chemnitz. Lindholm describes his study as an exercise in theological retrieval. The work contains a good bibliography but no index.
