Abstract

104 kingdom of God on earth and developed an idea which came dangerously close to the doctrine of universal salvation. After a further visit to Wittenberg and a meeting with Luther at which the reformer roundly condemned his chiliasm, Borrhaus went to Strasbourg. Despite initial hesitations, he soon met with the favour of the leading Protestants of the city, Martin Bucer and above all Wolfgang Capito. In the course of his residence he met most of the nonconformists who had sought refuge in Alsace-Schwenckfeld, Servetus, Hans Denck, Ludwig Hätzer and others. His friendship with Hätzer, however, was brief for, in 1527, Borrhaus defended the execution of Felix Manz in Ziirich. He seems to have done so in order to prove his allegiance to Zwingli, but any sympathy the Swiss reformer may have had for him was dispelled by the publication in the same year of the De operibus Dei. The emphasis on the humanity of Christ, the continued opposition to baptism resulting from a highly spiritualised inter- pretation of the sacraments, the chiliasm and the views on predestination which again seemed to expand the kingdom of God way beyond anything acceptable to the more orthodox Protestants, led Zwingli
