Johannes Bugenhagen als Reformator der öffentlichen Fürsorge Unknown - 2008
by Lorentzen, Tim
From the publisher
English summary: The assistance given to the poor and the ill during the Reformation has up to now been mainly interpreted as a field of state social disciplining. Tim Lorentzen looks at this from a theological perspective. During his organizational activities for the Reformation in Northern Germany and Scandinavia, the Wittenberg parish pastor, professor and church politician Johannes Bugenhagen (1485-1558) developed a model for welfare and social services in which Christian love was always to be given priority. It was here that exegesis led to organizational and economic consequences. Detailed comparisons with late medieval, humanistic and Southern German approaches show how innovative Bugenhagen actually was. In true-to-life studies which have been reconstructed from the archives, Tim Lorentzen proves for the first time how Bugenhagen's orders on relief for the poor functioned well in everyday life. This book marks the 450th anniversary of his death. German description: Die Leistungen der Reformation in der Armen- und Krankenfursorge bleiben umstritten: Schuf sie auf diesem Feld Neues, oder knupfte sie nicht vielmehr an bestehende Reformen an? Wurde die fruhere 'Werkgerechtigkeit' jetzt durch evangelische Freigebigkeit aus dem Glauben heraus abgelost, oder fuhrte Luthers Rechtfertigungslehre nicht vielmehr zu Stagnation und Niedergang aktiver Nachstenliebe? Zielte die reformatorische Fursorgepraxis wirklich darauf ab, den Schwachen am Rande der Gesellschaft zu helfen, oder diente sie sich nicht vielmehr sozialdisziplinatorischen Interessen weltlicher Obrigkeiten an? Der Wittenberger Stadtpfarrer, Professor und Kirchenpolitiker Johannes Bugenhagen (1485-1558) entwickelte vom Evangelium aus ein neuartiges Fursorgemodell unter dem Primat christlicher Liebe. Davon zeugen acht Kirchenordnungen fur Braunschweig, Hamburg, Lubeck, Pommern, Danemark-Norwegen, Schleswig-Holstein, Hildesheim und Braunschweig-Wolfenbuttel. Daneben forderten Flugschriften, Predigten und Bilder die Popularisierung seines Programms. Tim Lorentzen setzt im Spatmittelalter an und zeichnet den argumentativen Umbruch in der diakonischen Ethik der Reformatoren nach. Vergleiche mit spatmittelalterlichen, humanistischen und oberdeutschen Ansatzen zeigen Bugenhagens innovatives Profil. In lebensnah rekonstruierten Archivstudien kann erstmals auch die alltagliche Funktionstuchtigkeit seiner Fursorgebestimmungen belegt werden. Das Buch erscheint zum 450. Todestag des Reformators.
