英国爱德华六世与伊丽莎白一世时代的神学教义革命

The Revolution in Theological Doctrine during the Reigns of Edward VI and Elizabeth I in England

英国"王权至尊"的权力结构,决定了神学教义变革的政治性解决方案。教职会议或主教在"至尊的王权"邀请下,以普通法的方式参与了对神学教义的定义。爱德华六世与伊丽莎白一世时代的政治环境,为神学教义革命的释放提供了机会。爱德华六世时代产生的《公共祈祷书》与《四十二信条》,将英国国教会神学教义改革演绎成了一场革命。经历玛丽一世的天主教政策之后,伊丽莎白一世在很大程度上恢复了爱德华六世时代的革命性举措,使英国教会在神学教义与礼拜仪式方面兼具路德教与加尔文教的特点。

The power structure of royal supremacy in England determined the project of a political solution to theological reformation.At the invitation of the 'supreme royal power,' bishops or convocation took part in defining theological doctrines through discussion of common law.The political atmosphere in the reigns of Edward VI and Elizabeth I provided an opportunity to launch a theological revolution.The Book of Common Prayer and the Forty-two Articles that appeared in the reign of Edward VI transformed the theological reform of the Church of England into a revolution.In the wake of the Catholic policies introduced by Mary I,Elizabeth restored to a large extent the revolutionary measures adopted under Edward VI,so that the theological doctrines and religious observances of the Church of England had Lutheran and Calvinist features.
