Resumo

The priesthood of all believers is one the most important ideas in the theology of Martin Luther and has significant implications for ecclesiology, theology of ministry and biblical interpretation, all of them with an impact on the notion of religious authority. Given the importance of all these themes, this article aims at investigating the proper understanding of the foundations of Luther’s thinking on the topic as well as the consistency of this Protestant concept of priesthood and its implications. That will be done by describing the concept of Christ’s priesthood in the context of the theology of Martin Luther, observing how this concept influences Luther’s understanding of the priesthood of all believers.


Keywords: Priesthood of all believers; Martin Luther; Ecclesiology; Religious authority.


O sacerdócio de todos os crentes representa um dos conceitos mais importantes na teologia de Martinho Lutero e possui implicações significativas para a eclesiologia, teologia do ministério e a interpretação bíblica — temas que afetam a noção de autoridade religiosa.

Isso será realizado por meio da descrição do conceito do sacerdócio de Cristo no contexto da teologia de Martinho Lutero, observando como esse conceito influencia a compreensão de Lutero sobre o sacerdócio de todos os crentes.
