  • Altare Contra Altare. Dysputa O Kształcie Ołtarza I O Jego Wystroju W Epoce Nowożytnej
    Piotr Krasny Instytut Historii Sztuki, Uniwersytet Jagielloński http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2084-851X.05.02 Altare contra altare. Dysputa o kształcie ołtarza i o jego wystroju w epoce nowożytnej edna świątynia nie może być wznoszona przeciwko drugiej, ani jeden ołtarz przeciwko drugiemu, ponieważ mamy jedną świątynię, jedną „J arkę, jeden ołtarz […] tak jak mamy jednego Chrystusa, w którym objawił się Bóg i w którym Go odnajdujemy ” – głosił Marcin Luter (1483-1546) w komentarzu do Psalmu 132, opublikowanym w roku 15301. Słowa te nie przysta- wały jednak do rzeczywistości, którą reformator ów w znacznym stopniu wykreował. Podzieleni w wierze uczniowie Chrystusa, w wśród nich także sam Luter, obmyślali bowiem w owym czasie różne koncepcje świątyń i ołtarzy, zamierzając stawiać je właśnie jedne przeciwko drugim. Za pomocą programów ideowych i form owych struktur próbowano bardzo często bronić elementów doktryny swojej konfesji, od- rzucanych przez inne wyznania, a nieraz także – postponować doktrynę oponentów2. Nowożytna teoria sztuki sakralnej – tak jak nowożytna teologia – była formułowana 1 LUTHER 1819, s. 403. 2 Zob. np.: SCAVIZZI 1982; SCAVIZZI 1992. TECHNE TEXNH 12 SERIA NOWA w atmosferze kontrowersji, toteż w jej opisie trudno poprzestać na prezentacji jed- nego stanowiska, ale należy raczej prezentować ją jako zderzenia różnych koncepcji3. Taka metoda badawcza jest – jak sądzę – najwłaściwsza dla studiów nad reflek- sją o ołtarzu chrześcijańskim, rozwijaną w XVI i XVII wieku. Mogłoby się co praw- da wydawać, że na obszarach, na których – tak jak w Polsce – zachowały się niemal wyłącznie ołtarze służące tylko jednej konfesji, można by poprzestać na zgłębianiu teorii, formowanej na użytek tego wyznania. Trzeba jednak pamiętać, że niemal wszystkie europejskie państwa były w początkach epoki nowożytnej podzielone wyznaniowo.

    Trinity Lutheran Church Trinity Lutheran Church Non Profit Organization 5005 I-40 West October 2017 U.S. Postage Paid Trinity Epistle Amarillo, Texas 79106 Amarillo, Texas Change Service Requested Permit No. 307 Pastor Ponderings October is an important month for Lutherans. This is the month that will mark the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation. What does that mean to you? What does it mean to celebrate the Reformation? For some it is a celebration of heritage. For many the celebration of the Reformation is a matter of ethnic heritage. German Lutherans identify with the reality that Martin Luther was a German. My own grandfather was German, he immigrated legally to the United States when he was a teenager. Since the time I was raised in a German Lutheran family, I once thought that Lutheranism is primarily a German celebration. Many here at Trinity come from a similar German Lutheran background. However, Lutheranism is much larger than a German celebration. Inside this issue For many Lutheranism is a matter of pure doctrine and correct teachings in the church.
