Abstract

Abstract This article analyses the approval of the Gallican Confession during the so-called first national synod of the French Reformed churches, held in Paris in May 1559. The established consensus is that Calvin had a starring role in the adoption of the Confession by the pastors assembled in Paris. The latter are believed to have modified and promulgated the Gallican Confession based on a draft that the former had authored and sent to the synod. This paper will test the hypothesis that Calvin never sent any draft to Paris for approval in May 1559 and that a 1557 Parisian document—the letter-confession Au Roy—was used as the basis for the text of the Gallican Confession. We will also show that in May 1559 Calvin was not opposed to the promulgation of a confession of faith, but to its untimely disclosure and/or publication in print. This article offers a different interpretation of the relationship between Geneva and the brethren assembled in Paris at this crucial stage, and suggests that the categories of agreement/disagreement between Calvin and some French pastors, normally applied to this event, might not be appropriate.
巴黎与日内瓦之间:对高卢忏悔书(1559年5月)批准的一些评析
摘要本文分析了1559年5月在巴黎召开的法国改革宗教会第一届全国会议对高卢信条的认可。公认的共识是,加尔文在聚集在巴黎的牧师们采纳信条的过程中起了主要作用。后者被认为已经修改和颁布了高卢信条的基础上的草案,前者已撰写并发送给主教会议。本文将验证加尔文从未在1559年5月将任何草案送到巴黎供批准的假设,以及1557年巴黎的一份文件——《告解信》——被用作高卢教廷告解文本的基础。我们还会看到,1559年5月,加尔文并不反对信仰告白的颁布,而是反对它不合时宜的披露和/或出版。这篇文章对日内瓦和在这个关键阶段聚集在巴黎的弟兄们之间的关系提供了不同的解释,并提出加尔文和一些法国牧师之间的同意/不同意的类别,通常适用于这一事件,可能不合适。
