Redenzione e Riforma

Alcuni elementi di riflessione per una “teologia politica” autocritica

Abstract

This paper provides some reflections on the concept of redemption in the Reformed Churches. First, the impact of previous theologies on the Reformation will be mentioned, paying particular attention to the connection made by some patristic and medieval theologians between original sin and politics. I will then go on to examine the same connection, as elaborated by the three main Reformers of the 16th century, and to ascertain the part played by the concept of redemption in this ethico-political context. A brief examination of the same question, as dealt with by those who came immediately after the first Reformers, then follows. The paper concludes with some thoughts on the contribution that theologies with an awareness of the implications of the Reformation can give to the understanding of “political theology” in Western society.
