The "saints" of the Reformation | ||||
November 11, 2010 in Marion Baroni Source: New Town publisher More than three hundred profiles of the witnesses of faith, of different denominations, from Luther to Bach, Bonhoeffer. New Town has brought them together in a Dictionary. We spoke with the reformed theologian Stefan Tobler È un pregiudizio diffuso che il mondo protestante non "riconosca i santi". In realtà l'eroismo della donazione radicale a Dio è fortemente sentito anche nelle Chiese della Riforma. Città Nuova presenta una novità editoriale: il dizionario nelle chiese della Riforma . Sono più di trecento i profili di cristiani provenienti dalle diverse confessioni, da Johan Sebastian Bach a Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a John Milton che verranno raccontati nell’opera. Abbiamo raggiunto uno dei curatori, Stefan Tobler, teologo riformato, docente all’università di Sibiu in Romania e membro del centro studi interdisciplinare Scuola Abbà. Professor Tobler, la Confessio Augustana, testo base prepared to Protestantism in 1530, shows how is rooted passion for holiness, the mystical intimacy and heroism of the radical self-giving to God you explain what is the concept of holiness for the Churches born of the reform? And because the term "witnesses of the faith"? 'For the churches of the Reformation, the concept of holiness is near the biblical concept: it is l’essere in Cristo nella fede. Questo si traduce nella fiducia nella grazia di Dio, poiché è nella fede che tu ti porti in un altro modo di essere, che è l’essere in Cristo. Per i singoli, e nello stesso momento insieme, è al contempo anche un essere in comunione con gli altri nella c ommunio sanctorum . Fondamentale è che non si pensa tanto ad uno stato raggiunto rispetto ad una scala, in un’ascesi di virtù, quanto ad uno stato raggiunto con un salto in Christ. lives next to the concept of holiness to holiness. Do not forget, that is, then, in real life there is a path, growth. A concept that, in the history of Protestantism, has had several stages and has been much debated. Both in the introduction that in the individual profiles of the dictionary, you can find out how and the forms in which the sanctification was understood as Protestantism " This type of work is not an example of effective community between different religions? How could continue on this path traced by dictionary? "First, the collaboration between editors and authors was a beautiful and fruitful experience. as fact in itself is certainly an example of what describes. I believe that several things that are in the book will be a surprise to a Catholic reader, and in particular what concerns latest Protestant movements. There are new churches, such as Pentecostal churches, which have enough space in this dictionary, at numerical importance in Christianity today. It is precisely this element of surprise may and we hope to do it, ask questions, curiosity to understand better, to enter into dialogue with these existing realities in Italy. But it is also a challenge to understand the richness of God's work in human history " How can stimulate the reading of the dictionary to look the figures for Catholics and Protestants can be apply to all witnesses of the faith, for this to be united to Christ . "Certainly, if what unites all of these varieties witnesses, which is being united to Christ, to come out would be the best thing. Then we have the heart of what is the foundation of the unity of all Christians . I do not think, however, now the possibility to define some circle or group of saints that may be recognized by everybody, because, perhaps merely the opportunity to see the variety of action of Spirit in various forms of Christian life. È importante far parlare queste figure così come sono, poiché non sono immediatamente e incontestabilmente riconosciute da tutti subito, ma hanno un valore unico e importante nel loro contesto e nella strada che hanno tracciato» I numeri del dizionario Testimoni di fede nelle chiese della Riforma (Città nuova editrice) 60 employees belonging to the Reformed Churches of the '500 's 341 witnesses from different confessions of faith: Lutheran Churches, Anglican, Pentecostal, Methodist and many other Among the figures submitted Johann Sebastian Bach (musician) Dietrich Bonhoeffer (a theologian and Nazi martyr) Soren Kierkegaard (philosopher) Grace Agar (missionary) John Milton (poet) Harmenszoon Rembrandt van Rijn (artist) Scientific Director of James Puglisi and Stefan Tobler. |
