Alfred Loisy

    28. Februar 1857 – 1. Juni 1940

    Alfred Firmin Loisy war ein französischer Priester und Theologe, ein Begründer des biblischen Modernismus. Er untersuchte die Heilige Schrift mit kritischen Methoden und stellte traditionelle Schöpfungsauslegungen in Frage. Seine theologischen Positionen führten zu Konflikten mit Kirchenkonservativen und schließlich zu seiner Exkommunikation. Loisys berühmtester Einwand betraf die Abweichung zwischen Jesu Verkündigung des Himmelreichs und dem Entstehen der Kirche, die er für das Nachahmen staatlicher Herrschaft kritisierte, obwohl er glaubte, dass Jesus eine Gemeinschaft gründen wollte.

It challenges Protestant interpretations of the relationship between Jesus and the Church, offering an alternative viewpoint that invites readers to reconsider established beliefs. Loisy's work serves as a reminder for Catholics of their traditions and encourages a deeper understanding of the complexities within Christian thought.

      In the context of early Christianity around 180 AD, the necessity for a biblical canon emerged due to Gnostic threats. Alfred Loisy, a knowledgeable Roman Catholic priest and leader of "Catholic Modernism," explores the compilation and evolution of the New Testament, arguing that its formation was influenced by the development of Christian propaganda. He critiques the portrayal of miracles as historical events and emphasizes that later additions to the texts were responses to contemporary needs. This scholarly work complements his earlier writings on the origins of Christianity.
