Mariolojia ya Kilutheri

Mariolojia ya Kilutheri inajumlisha mitazamo ya theolojia ya madhehebu ya Kikristo ya Kilutheri kuanzia Martin Luther mwenyewe na wataalamu wa baadaye kuhusu Bikira Maria, Mama wa Yesu.

Baadhi ya waanzilishi wa Uprotestanti kama Martin Luther^[1] na

Zaidi ya hayo, Martin Luther alishikilia dogma kuhusu Maria kwamba ni Bikira daima na anaweza kuitwa Mama wa Mungu^[2] Tena alitetea mtazamo kwamba alikingiwa dhambi ya asili, au walau aliishi bila dhambi. ^[3]

Kwake suala lilikuwa si heshima kwake, bali kiwango cha kufaa cha heshima hiyo^[4][5].

Hadi sasa Shirikisho la Kimataifa la Walutheri linakubali kumuita Maria "Mama wa Mungu"^[6].

1. ↑ The honor given to the mother of God has been rooted so deeply into the hearts of men that no one wants to hear any opposition to this celebration... We also grant that she should be honored, since we, according to Saint Paul's words [Romans 12] are indebted to show honor one to another for the sake of the One who dwells in us, Jesus Christ. Therefore we have an obligation to honor Mary. But be careful to give her honor that is fitting. Unfortunately, I worry that we give her all too high an honor for she is accorded much more esteem than she should be given or than she accounted to herself. Cfr. Basely, Joel R. (2005).
