【 摘 要 】

Today not many would be aware of the important role that the Old Testament played in the Protestant Reformation. In fact, its discovery was so central to the Reformation that, according to one opinion, "it is doubtful whether Protestantism could have arisen without the knowledge of the Old Testament, it is certain that without it the Reformed Church could not have assumed the shape it took" (The Cambridge Modern History, Vo1.11, N.Y. 1907, p.696). Its far reaching theological, social and political impact both in the continent of Europe and that of North America hardly any historian could ignore. But the most enduring is the theological impact.
