Abstract:

约翰内斯·布根哈根的名字尽管能够与路德、墨兰顿并提，然而在知名度上却远不如后两者，他是聚光灯之外的影子人物。本文聚焦于这位“聚光灯之外的改革者”，梳理其生平经历，及其在德国北部和北欧地区的周游组织情况。本文发现布根哈根与路德神学在“信仰与善行”上有着细微的不同，他更善于将“因信称义”这一宗教改革口号与信仰的美好果实联系起来：在对路德的私人牧养时给予了路德莫大的安慰，在组织新生路德宗时形成了以教会法令为基础、以教会权力改革与社会服务改革为具体内容的改革实践，深刻地影响了现代福利国家制度。通过对布根哈根这位“路德宗的组织天才”的梳理分析，我们看到了聚光灯之外的独特光芒，如此便能逐步还原宗教改革运动的整全图景。

Johannes Buggenhagen, whose name can be mentioned alongside Luther and Melanchthonbut ismuch less well known than the latter two, is a shadow figure beyond the limelight. This article focuses onthis‘Reformer beyond the Limelight’, examining his life story and his organisation of travels in northern Germanyand Scandinavian. The paper finds a subtle difference between Bugenhagen and Luther's theology intermsof‘faith and good works’, as he was more adept at linking the Reformation slogan of ‘justification by faith’ tothegood fruits of faith: in his personal pastoral care of Luther, he gave him great comfort; in the organisationof thenew Lutheran Church, he was a great help to him; and in the organisation of the new Lutheran Church, hewasagreat help to Luther in his personal pastoral care. In the organisation of the new Lutheran Church, theReformation practice based on the Church’s ordinances, the reform of the Church’s authority and the reformofsocial services had a profound influence on the modern welfare state system. By analysing Buggenhagen, the‘organisational genius of Lutheranism’, we see a unique light outside the limelight, so that we can graduallyrestore the whole view of the Reformation movement.
