Vprašanje vere in dvoma pri slovenskih protestantih (primer Primož Trubar)

Abstract

This article analyzes the phenomenon of faith and doubt in two works of the Slovene protestant author Primož Trubar, the greatest Slovenian author of the 16th century: Ena dolga predguvor (1557) and Cerkovna ordninga (1564). In Trubar’s interpretation, faith is inherited; he understands it as a gift from God. The meaning of faith is focused through interpretation of the Bible. Faith is the main religious and ethical phenomenon; it presents man’s relation not only to God but also to society, and his relationship to existential, social, and moral reality. In Trubar’s, view the world is dual: it is divided into society with the right faith, and the condemned one, the society of others who live a lie, who don’t have the right faith. Doubt is the space of sin; it is the space without God’s mercy.

V prispevku je analizirano vprašanje vere in dvoma v dveh delih Primoža Trubarja: v delu Ena dolga Predguvor (1557) in Cerkovna ordninga (1564). Vera je v Trubarjevem razumevanju vrojena, dar božji in izhaja iz interpretacije biblije. Vero dojema kot osnovni religiozni in moralni fenomen, ki razkriva tako problem človekovega odnosa do boga kot tudi do skupnosti, njegove moralne in verske vpetosti v socialni in zgodovinski kontekst. Tako pojmovanje kategorizira dvojnost sveta: pravo vero in svet pravih vernikov na eni strani, na drugi nepravo vero, dvom, nerazumevanje in laž, skupnost ljudi, ki živijo v zmoti. Dvom spada v območje greha, je odklon od božjega zaupanja in neupoštevanje božje avtoritete.
