The Question of Protestant Morality and Philip Melancthon
Hakan OLGUN
Abstract: Protestant theology contains
the doctrine of justifing by faith without good works and religious law.
This doctrine has been the main reason of firm
predestination idea. It also led the Protestants to religious
irresponsibility in their earthly life. It has also been followed by
moral indifference or being against moral laws as known antinomianism. The
famous Lutheran reformist and Martin Luther’s close friend Philip Melancthon
has tried to found the Protestant morality on the base of religious feelings,
but could not success it. Consequently, it
must be stressed that the world is under the thread of the understanding of
Protestant immoralism which is based upon religious irresponsibility and
predestination. |
