Journal Article
Shakespeare on Salvation: Crossing the Reformation Divide
2025
Overview
The five chapters of the book other than the Introduction and Conclusion offer readings of individual plays - The Merchant of Venice, Hamlet (two chapters), Measure for Measure and King Lear - that are at once historically relevant and theologically engaged. In Anonby's reading, for instance, The Merchant of Venice critiques justification by faith, while Measure for Measure shows the failure of Calvin's doctrine of vicarious atonement when applied to the ethical relationship between people. Out of his triple engagement with the early modern stage, the history of ideas, and contemporary criticism, Anonby constructs his own form of reading.
