Martin Luther
Le combat de Martin Luther (1483-1546) contre les dérives de l’Église de son temps a été à l’origine d’un renouveau de la piété, mais aussi de la fracture de la chrétienté occidentale qui perdure jusqu’à aujourd’hui. À l’occasion du 500e anniversaire de la Réforme, Matthieu Arnold suit Luther à travers l’ensemble de sa vie et de son œuvre : ses grands traités, sa traduction de la Bible, sa correspondance, ses catéchismes, ses cantiques, ses prédications ou encore ses Propos de table. Il nous fait découvrir ainsi un personnage plus riche et plus complexe que le pourfendeur de la papauté ou l’adversaire d’Érasme : le porte-parole d’un message réconforta...
Luther
« Ce à quoi tu te tiens, ce sur quoi tu t'appuies, c'est là véritablement ton Dieu. » 1505, Saint Empire Romain germanique. Sur le chemin pour Erfurt en Allemagne, Martin Luther est surpris par un terrible orage. Alors qu'il pense vivre ses derniers instants, il implore Dieu et ses saints et en réchappe. Persuadé que le Seigneur lui a laissé la vie sauve, il décide de lui vouer son existence. En se faisant moine, il espère aussi échapper à l'enfer et au purgatoire au jour de son trépas. Il entre dans une confrérie de moines augustins, où il impressionne ses supérieurs par sa ferveur et son zèle. Envoyé en mission à Rome, il découvre avec stupeur à quel point la ville sainte a été dévoyée et les clercs corrompus par les richesses. Surtout, il réalise que les hommes doivent revenir aux textes originels s'ils veulent trouver le salut et changer leur vision de Dieu. À une époque où la religion fait et défait des royaumes, où les idées circulent plus vite que jamais grâce à l'imprimerie nouvellement créée, la vision de Luther est sur le point de changer le monde...
John Calvin
The three years that Calvin spent in Strasbourg are often considered a simple gap between his two periods in Geneva (1536-1538 and 1541-1564). However, this period has been shown to be extremely fertile for Calvin in literary, theological, and pastoral fields, not forgetting his marriage to Idelette de Bure. It was in Strasbourg that Calvin published the second Latin edition, greatly increased, of his "Institution," and where he wrote the first French version of this summary of the reformed religion. There he lectured on "Romans," replied to Cardinal Sadolet, and wrote his "Little Treatise on Holy Communion," intended to reconcile Protestants. There he became familiar with Martin Bucer's catechetical practice and with the songs of the Strasbourg parishes, which inspired his "Some Psalms and Canticles put into Song," and there he gained the friendship of Philippe Melanchthon and the respect of other Reformers.
15 Days of Prayer with Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Lutheran pastor, theologian, opponent of Hitler and martyr, stands as one of the boldest examples of twentieth century Christian witness. By the time that the Gestapo hanged him in Flossenberg Concentration Camp for involvement in a plot to assassinate Hitler, Bonhoeffer had marked out not only a firm Christian defense of the rights of GodÂ’s Ancient People the Jews but had sketched out an undogmatic Christianity for "a world come of age." The essence of this Christian vision was the belief that God is always present in Christ and always present in suffering. In a twenty-first century when trivial quarrels can still divide Christians, BonhoefferÂ’s witness to this ...
Crossing Traditions: Essays on the Reformation and Intellectual History
English Irena Backus' scholarship has been characterised by profound historical learning and philological acumen, extraordinary mastery of a wide range of languages, and broad-ranging interests. From the history of historiography to the story of Biblical exegesis and the reception of the Church Fathers, her research on the long sixteenth century stands as a point of reference for both historians of ideas and church historians alike. She also explored late medieval theology before turning her attention to the interplay of religion and philosophy in the seventeenth century, the focus of her late research. This volume assembles contributions from 35 international specialists that reflect the br...
Defending Faith
When in 1550 Andreas Osiander (1498-1552) advocated a different understanding of the central Lutheran doctrine of justification by faith alone, most other Lutheran churches in Germany rejected his stance, producing nearly one hundred opposing tracts. Timothy J. Wengert examines these reactions as a way of describing the theological side of confessionalization in Lutheran lands.--Back of dust jacket.
