Martin Luther Livres
Martin Luther fut un moine et théologien allemand dont les écrits et les idées réformatrices influencèrent profondément la civilisation occidentale. Sa théologie remit en question l'autorité papale, affirmant la Bible comme seule source infaillible de vérité religieuse et tous les chrétiens baptisés comme un sacerdoce spirituel. Luther croyait que le salut était un don gratuit de Dieu, reçu par le repentir et la foi en Jésus, sans médiation de l'église. Sa traduction de la Bible en allemand rendit les Écritures accessibles au peuple, influençant considérablement la langue et la culture allemandes, ainsi que le développement du chant d'assemblée et la pratique du mariage clérical. Ses opinions controversées sur certains groupes contribuent à un héritage complexe.






Luther, qui a été un homme d'action, disait qu'il avait tant de choses à faire, qu'il devait consacrer au moins trois heures par jour à la prière, pour y parvenir... En 1517, l'année de l'affichage de ses 95 thèses, il y a tout juste cinq siècles, il fit paraître un traité d'une centaine de pages : Explication de l'Oraison Dominicale, qui fut l'un des premiers à être traduit en français, et qui eut un certain impact populaire. Trois siècles plus tard, un petit-fils d'Oberlin, le pasteur Louis Rauscher (1807-1840) le traduisit à nouveau de l'allemand en français. C'est son texte remanié par Frédéric de Rougemont (1808-1876), d'une étonnante fraîcheur, que nous présentons ici. En 1535, Luther installé à Wittemberg, à présent connu de toute l'Europe, reçut de son barbier, Peter Beskendorf, la singulière demande de lui apprendre à prier. Luther lui répondit par une lettre, naturellement beaucoup plus courte que le traité, mais où là encore il expose le sens du Notre Père, et montre le fruit qui peut en être retiré. Cette numérisation ThéoTeX donne en appendice la Simple Manière de prier, dédiée à mon ami, Maître Peter, le barbier. S'agissant des propres paroles de Jésus-Christ sur la prière, il est incontestable que le Notre Père restera jusqu'à la fin des temps le modèle par excellence de la prière chrétienne.
