    Martin Luther King Fellows In Black Religious Studies, Inc. Collection

    No full text
    When Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in April of 1968, the Black theological students at Colgate Rochester Divinity School requested a program and professorship in Black Church Studies as a memorial to what King represented as a pastor and leader of the Black Church. After a forced close-down of the school by the Black students and a series of fundraising efforts, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Professorship in Black Church Studies was established. This position was filled by Henry H. Mitchell (clergyman, educator, author and at that time pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, Santa Monica, CA) on July 1, 1969 and the program of Black Church Studies at CRDS/BH/CTS was launched in September 1969. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Fellows project began as the result of an idea given to Dr. Mitchell for a research and writing project for the purpose of developing literature, curriculum, and bibliographical materials in the area of Black Church practice.

    Martin Luther’s Position Concerning the Virgin Mary

    No full text
    Autor podejmuje się zbadania pism Marcina Lutra w celu przedstawienia jego teologicznych poglądów na Maryję Pannę. Po zarysowaniu charakterystyki pobożności maryjnej późnego średniowiecza, autor przedstawia nowe rozumienie kultu maryjnego, zaproponowane przez wirtemberskiego Reformatora. W tym celu analizuje wypowiedzi Lutra zawarte w Komentarzu do Magnificat, w Komentarzu do Ave Maria oraz w jego kazaniach. Następnie autor przedstawia charakterystykę roku liturgicznego, zaproponowanego przez Reformatora, wraz z zachowanymi przez niego świętami maryjnymi (Zwiastowanie, Nawiedzenie i Oczyszczenie), przedstawiając jednocześnie ich teologiczne uzasadnienie zaproponowane przez Wirtemberczyka. W kolejnym kroku zostają przedstawione zapatrywania Marcina Lutra na inne święta maryjne oraz miejsce, jakie daje Maryi Pannie w liturgii nieszpornej i w wyznaniu wiary. We wniosku końcowym autor stwierdza, że w koncepcji Lutra Maryja jest obecna na przestrzeni całego roku kościelnego, a Reformator przeciwstawił się nie samej Maryi, ale nadużyciom w Jej kulcie, podporządkowując go jednocześnie prymatowi Chrystusa.The author investigates Martin Luther’s writings in order to present his theological views on the Virgin Mary. After outlining the characteristics of Marian piety in the late Middle Ages, the author deals with a new understanding of Marian devotion proposed by the Wittenberg Reformer. To this end, he analyzes Luther’s statements in the Commentary on the Magnificat, the Commentary on Ave Maria and in his sermons. The author then presents modifications to the liturgical year proposed by the Reformer, along with the Marian feasts he has preserved – the Annunciation, Visitation and Purification – at the same time showing their theological justification proposed by Luther. In the next step, the author deals with Martin Luther’s view of other Marian feasts together with the place he gives to the Virgin Mary in the Vespers and in the Creed. In the final conclusion, the author states that in Luther’s concept, the Virgin Mary is present throughout the church year, and the Reformer opposed not the Virgin Mary herself, but abuses in her worship, subordinating it to the primacy of Christ at the same time
