Abstract:

約翰內斯·佈根哈根的名字儘管能夠與路德、墨蘭頓並提，然而在知名度上卻遠不如後兩者，他是聚光燈之外的影子人物。本文聚焦於這位“聚光燈之外的改革者”，梳理其生平經曆，及其在德國北部和北歐地區的週遊組織情況。本文髮現佈根哈根與路德神學在“信仰與善行”上有着細微的不同，他更善於將“因信稱義”這一宗教改革口號與信仰的美好果實聯繫起來：在對路德的私人牧養時給予了路德莫大的安慰，在組織新生路德宗時形成了以教會法令爲基礎、以教會權力改革與社會服務改革爲具體內容的改革實踐，深刻地影響了現代福利國家製度。通過對佈根哈根這位“路德宗的組織天才”的梳理分析，我們看到了聚光燈之外的獨特光芒，如此便能逐步還原宗教改革運動的整全圖景。

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.
