摘　　要："唯信称义"思想的革命意义,在于将中世纪天主教为灵魂救赎设计的烦琐路线化解为单一路径,在"信仰"与"恩典"之间建立起直接与必然的联系,从而将基督徒从沉重的罪恶感之中解放出来。"唯信称义"思想对灵魂救赎单一路径的探索,引发了基督教神学的一场革命,并且奠定了基督新教人生观的核心内容。本文将"唯信称义"置于基督教神学一千多年的历史发展进程之中加以考察,探寻路德思想的发展轨迹与心路历程,借以澄清"唯信称义"思想的确切含义以及与天主教传统教义之间的分歧和继承关系,进而揭示16世纪宗教改革的本质。Martin Luther's theory 'Justification by Faith Alone' built a direct link between faith and God's grace,making sure that faith alone could certainly lead to the salvation of souls,which liberated the believers from the heavy burden of sinfulness and simplified Christian's spiritual life in this world.By establishing a singular route to salvation,the theory turns out to be a revolution to the medieval Catholic doctrine of justification by both faith and good works.This article intends to explore the exact meaning of 'Justification by Faith Alone',tracing the path by which Martin Luther developed his theory from Paul,Augustine and the medieval mystics,and establishing its principal contrasted with the medieval Catholic doctrine on justification.
