Mariolojia ya Kiprotestanti

Mariolojia ya Kiprotestanti inajumlisha mitazamo mbalimbali ya theolojia ya madhehebu ya Kikristo ya Kiprotestanti na viongozi wake wa zamani kama vile Martin Luther na Yohane Calvin na wataalamu wa baadaye kuhusu Bikira Maria, Mama wa Yesu.

Waanzilishi hariri

 
Sanamu ya Maria katika kanisa la Kilutheri huko Strasbourg.

Baadhi ya waanzilishi wa Uprotestanti kama Martin Luther[1] na Huldrych Zwingli[2] walimheshimu Bikira Maria.

Kabla yao, John Wycliffe alikuwa na msimamo wa namna hiyo [3].

Kwao suala lilikuwa si heshima kwake, bali kiwango cha kufaa cha heshima hiyo[4][5].

Zaidi ya hayo, Martin Luther alishikilia dogma kuhusu Maria kwamba ni Bikira daima na anaweza kuitwa Mama wa Mungu[6] Tena alitetea mtazamo kwamba alikingiwa dhambi ya asili, au walau aliishi bila dhambi. [7]

Karl Barth hariri

Karl Barth (1886–1968), mwanateolojia maarufu wa Wareformed, alishika msimamo kama wa Martin Luther[8][9]

Hali ya sasa hariri

Hadi sasa Shirikisho la Kimataifa la Walutheri linakubali kumuita Maria "Mama wa Mungu"[10].

Vilevile Ushirika wa Anglikana unashika mafundisho hayo ya mapokeo yaliyotolewa na mitaguso ya kiekumeni na kumheshimu Bikira Maria kuliko namna inavyokubaliwa na baadhi ya Waprotestanti, hasa ya madhehebu yaliyoanzishwa Marekani katika karne za mwisho[11][12]

Tanbihi hariri

  1. {{the honor given to the mother of God has been rooted so deeply into the hearts of men that no one wants to hear any opposition to this celebration... We also grant that she should be honored, since we, according to Saint Paul's words [Romans 12] are indebted to show honor one to another for the sake of the One who dwells in us, Jesus Christ. Therefore we have an obligation to honor Mary. But be careful to give her honor that is fitting. Unfortunately, I worry that we give her all too high an honor for she is accorded much more esteem than she should be given or than she accounted to herself. Cfr. Basely, Joel R. (2005).
