宗教改革五百周年,舉世舉辦以馬丁路德為首的宗教改革慶祝紀念活動。然而,對於宗教改革初期(1517-1525年)另一位改教人物湯馬斯‧閔采爾(Thomas Müntzer),教會卻鮮有認識與討論—尤其是華人教會以及漢語神學圈子裏,普遍對閔采爾的研究與探討不多。因此,本文旨在為漢語神學與華人教會介紹閔采爾的生平、思想以及學術研究的領域,從而推廣華人教會對閔采爾的研究興趣與認識。另一方面,適逢宗教改革五百周年,本文藉此研究幫助當下教會進行改革之反省。
ABSTRACT
The world is celebrating Reformation 500th anniversary, a religious reform led by Martin Luther as symbolic leader of the whole movement. However, not many people know and are aware of the significance of Thomas Müntzer, who was a radical reformer in the early stage of Reformation (1517-1525). Therefore, this paper aims at introducing life and thought of Thomas Müntzer as well as providing a background of the academic research. With a reflection of life and thought of Thomas Müntzer, I hope that this paper could deliver some insights on the reform of the church today.
