The Swiss natural philosopher, physician, and radical reformer Theophrastus of Hohenheim (1493-1541), known as Paracelsus, endeavoured to reconcile his various perspectives in his extensive biblical exegeses. Symbolizing this effort were the two lights of nature and the Holy Spirit, which, on one hand, explored worldly and mortal aspects of nature and, on the other hand, led to eternal life. In response to the prevailing dispute between Luther and Zwingli over the interpretation of the Eucharist, Paracelsus developed his own viewpoint, introducing the concept of the new human with a renewed corporeal body. His comprehensive interpretations of the Gospel of Matthew not only addressed theology but also engaged with the perspectives of a natural philosopher, physician, and advocate of natural magic.
瑞士自然哲学家、医生及激进改革家霍恩海姆的狄奥弗拉斯图·博姆巴斯茨·冯·霍恩海姆（1493 - 1541），以帕拉塞尔苏斯之名为人所知，他在其大量的圣经注释中努力调和自己的各种观点。象征这一努力的是自然之光和圣灵之光，一方面，它们探索自然的世俗和必死方面，另一方面，它们通向永生。针对路德和茨温利之间关于圣餐礼解释的普遍争议，帕拉塞尔苏斯提出了自己的观点，引入了具有全新物质身体的新人概念。他对《马太福音》的全面解读不仅涉及神学，还涉及自然哲学家、医生及自然魔法倡导者的观点。
