Iglesias luteranas

Las iglesias luteranas, que en su mayoría son miembros de la Federación Luterana Mundial (FLM), surgieron de una de las tendencias destacadas de los movimientos de Reforma dentro de la Iglesia Católica (occidental) del siglo XVI. En el curso de las controversias doctrinales de aquella época, la doctrina de la justificación por la fe mediante la sola gracia se convirtió en un asunto decisivo y el distintivo de las enseñanzas luteranas. Enfatiza que Dios redime a los seres humanos del poder del pecado a través de la cruz de Jesucristo y les confiere la propia rectitud de Dios.

La tradición luterana considera fundamentales para la vida de la iglesia la predicación del Evangelio y la administración de los sacramentos, recibidos y respondidos en la fe sin mérito humano. Los escritos confesionales luteranos, por ejemplo, la Confesión de Augsburgo y el Catecismo Menor de Martín Lutero, interpretan las convicciones principales respecto a la importancia del Evangelio para la vida personal y la vida común en la fe. La Biblia es afirmada como la única norma de fe, a la que todos los credos y otras tradiciones y creencias están subordinados.

Las iglesias luteranas forman parte de la mayoría de los acuerdos de comunión eclesial que han sido establecidos, por ejemplo, el Acuerdo de Leuenberg (1973, ahora Comunidad de Iglesias Protestantes en Europa), el Acuerdo de Meissen (1991), el Acuerdo de Porvoo (1992) y los acuerdos de plena comunión en los Estados Unidos de América y el Canadá. Se han desarrollado diversas formas de culto a lo largo de los siglos, en interacción con las culturas locales. La tradición cultual luterana ha buscado mantener la continuidad litúrgica con la iglesia antigua en la lectura y la proclamación de la Palabra de Dios y en la celebración de los sacramentos, bautismo y santa comunión.

Las iglesias luteranas ponen mucho énfasis en la educación religiosa en la enseñanza primaria y secundaria, así como en el estudio y la investigación teológicos. La doctrina de los dos gobiernos de Dios ha sido una parte conocida de la tradición luterana: Dios reina sobre el mundo secular a través del gobierno secular y eclesial por medio de la ley y sobre el mundo espiritual a través de la gracia. En ocasiones, esta enseñanza ha sido desacreditada por una mala interpretación, como por ejemplo, en la Alemania nazi de los años treinta y cuarenta. Se ha intentado reinterpretarla en las últimas décadas como una base para la crítica de la injusticia, los regímenes autoritarios y los avances sociales destructivos.

    About the two rules of God 1 comment

    The statement in the LUTHERAN family description regarding the "well-known" doctrine of the two rules of God and its impact on historical member-state relations needs to be re-assessed.

    People who have some familiarity with the Reformation and Martin Luther usually identify three points of emphasis coming out of Luther's contribution to the Reformation:

    First, the doctrine of Justification by Faith (according to scriptural interpretation since Luther rejected church tradition as grounds for authority);

    Second, Luther taught in "the priesthood of all believers" which correspondingly adds that the clergy are not needed as intercessors between the individual and God;

    Third, the reduction of the sacraments into two, being Holy Baptism and Holy Communin, based on the fact that they were instituted by Jesus during his earthly ministry.

    As someone who attended Sunday School and worship services in a small town Lutheran church, the doctrine of the two rules of God was not covered as anything essential to Lutheran identity that I can recall. (Don't underestimate the value of small town church--in the 1970's a short-term pastor who was African went on to serve in the pre-eminent position of the Lutheran World Federation).

    Incidentally, Martin Luther did not want his name on his church. He preferred the name "Evangelical" to describe his church; using evangelical in it historical meaning of "of or relating to the Gospel". It is generally known that Luther did not set out to found a new church, rather he wanted to reform it (posting his theses on the door was an accepted way to open debate on issues in his day). This can be an easy item of affirmation--or a difficult matter of negation--for theologians depending on their perspectives on ecclesiology, apostolic succession and the prophetic voice.

    The article has been updated, with more details on the doctrine of the two rules of God, and links to sources on Lutheranism.
