Résumé : |
“The Reformation is ... generally taken to mean the series of events in different parts of Europe which led to the fragmentation of the universal Church. The threat of disintegration had always been present, espe¬cially during the preceding two hundred years. At the same time, the new methods of thought and scholarship, associated with the Renaissance, had placed the established religious assumptions under severe challenge.... But the Reformation crisis involved much more than religion. And contemporaries themselves came to realize this before long.
“For it was in the profoundest sense a crisis of authority which, in the circumstances of the time, expressed itself with the peculiar fervour of entrenched religious dogma. The result is that some of the fundamental issues which confronted Europe were driven into the narrow technical channels of theology and were therefore obscured and distorted almost beyond recognition. Men argued with the greatest intensity because they were insecure and frightened and in any case uncertain as to what the argument was about. The crisis, however, has a long pedigree and it has exercised an enduring influence. Some of the lessons learned by the Reformers have had to be learned over and over again, in various times and places, at a heavier cost, and not least by the present generation.” (Joel Hurstfield, in the Introduction) |
