Potestates Und Ministerium Publicum Synopsis

English summary: In this study, Christopher Voigt-Goy first deals with the history of the problem of the concept of an ecclesiastical office in the Middle Ages, ranging from the Decretum Gratiana to Gabriel Biel. The varying interpretations of the concept of the powers of an ecclesiastical office (potestates) serve as a guideline for his reconstruction. He then studies the way in which Martin Luther used the traditional concepts and categories. Even in his early lectures Luther demonstrated an unconventional approach to the problem of medieval clerical theology. The "spiritualizing nature" of Luther's concept of the ecclesiastical office and the church which emerged from this was not superseded by the public office (of preaching) until 1523, when Luther set his teachings on the office and the church on a steadier institutional course.

German description: In dieser Studie widmet sich Christopher Voigt-Goy der Problemgeschichte der Vorstellung vom `kirchlichen Amt`. Zunachst verfolgt er die von der Kirchenrechtssammlung Gratians angestossene Entwicklung bis zu Gabriel Biel. Als Leitlinie der Rekonstruktion dienen hierbei die unterschiedlichen Deutungen des Begriffs der Amtsgewalt bzw. der Amtsgewalten (potestates). Dann untersucht er Martin Luthers Umgang mit den fur die mittelalterliche Amtsvorstellung zentralen Begriffen und Kategorien. Bereits von seinen fruhen Vorlesungen an zeigte Luther einen eigenwilligen Zugriff auf den ihm uberkommenen Problemhorizont mittelalterlicher Amtstheologie. Der konsequent daraus erwachsende `spiritualisierende Zuschnitt` von Luthers Amts- und Kirchenvorstellung wurde erst 1523 durch die Vorstellung des offentlichen (Predigt-)Amts (ministerium publicum) abgelost, wodurch Luther seine Amts- und Kirchenlehre in festere institutionelle Bahnen lenkte.
