Zanchi’s De Incarnatione Filii Dei (On the Incarnation of the Son of God), published posthumously in 1593, is one of his most substantial contributions to Reformed Christology. Written amid the intense Christological controversies between Reformed and Lutheran theologians in the later sixteenth century, the work examines the person of Christ, the union of the divine and human natures, and the proper communication of their attributes. Drawing extensively upon Scripture, the Church Fathers, and scholastic theological distinctions, Zanchi seeks to explain how Christ can be truly God and truly man without confusing or dividing his two natures.
Girolamo Zanchi (1516–1590) was an Italian Reformed theologian and one of the major systematizers of Reformed doctrine in the generation after Calvin.
Originally an Augustinian canon, he encountered Protestant theology at Lucca under the influence of Peter Martyr Vermigli and eventually fled Italy for religious reasons. Zanchi taught Scripture and theology at Strasbourg, Heidelberg, and Neustadt, producing substantial works on the Trinity, divine attributes, creation, predestination, and Christology.
His theology characteristically joined close Biblical exegesis with extensive engagement with the Church Fathers and the medieval scholastic tradition.
