haslaði sér völl á íslandi og varð mótandi innan kirkjunnar. Athygli vekur átök um vægi og túlkun ritningarinnar og tengsl hennar við guðfræði Lúthers. Gagnstæðar fylkingar gerðu kröfu til þess að þeir væru fulltrúar fyrir rétta túlkun á ritningunni og réttmætir arftakar lútherskrar guðfræði. Þetta skiptir miklu máli þar sem kirkjan var evangelísk-lúthersk og sá aðili sem hafði „rétta“ túlkun á bæði ritningunni og lútherskri guðfræði var þar með réttmætur fulltrúi kirkjunnar. Fulltrúar frjáls- lyndu guðfræðinnar um aldamótin þurftu því að sýna fram á hvernig bæri að túlka ritninguna með vísindalegum aðferðum sem „Guðs orð“ og draga fram að þeir fylgdu þeim áherslum sem lagðar voru með siðbót Lúthers. Friðrik J. Bergmann er dæmigerður fulltrúi frjálslyndu guðfræðinnar í framsetningu sinni á þessum áherslum. Um miðja öldina á sér aftur stað svipað uppgjör þar sem tekist er á um rétta túlkun á vísindalegum forsendum bæði varðandi ritninguna og Lúther og arfleifð hans. Þar sem aftur var tekist á um að rétt túlkun og útfærsla á hefðinni væri grundvöllur kirkjulegs starfs og yrði að vera mótandi í kirkjustjórninni. Átökin um rétta túlkun á ritningunni og réttan skilning á inntaki siðbótarinnar voru ætíð kirkjupólitísk átök. Dæmigerður fulltrúi fyrir þessa nálgun um miðja 20. öld er Sigurbjörn Einarsson. English summary When reviewing the history of theological writings in Icelandic, two important eras catch the attention. The former is around the turn of the century 1900 when the liberal theology was gaining momentum in Iceland and became the dominant theological school. Especially interesting is to notice the conflict concerning the importance of Scripture and its interpretation and how it is connected to the theology of Martin Luther. The opposite sides both claimed to represent the correct interpretation of Scripture and to be legitimate heirs to the Lutheran theology. This is especially important since the Icelandic Church is Evangelical- Lutheran and the party possessing the “correct” interpretation of Scripture and of the Lutheran theology was therefore the legitimate representative of the Icelandic church. The theologians representing the liberal theology in the late 19th and early 20th century had therefore to demonstrate how Scripture was to be interpreted in a scientific way as “Word of God” and emphasize that they respected the main lines laid by the reformation of Martin Luther. Friðrik J Bergmann is a typical representative for the liberal theologians in his exposition. Around the mid-20th century a similar conflict, and reckoning, occurs concerning scientific methods in interpreting Scripture and Martin Luther and his heritage. The focus of the conflict was again that authentic interpretation of Scripture and enhancement of tradition should be at the foundation of all ecclesiastical activity and should lay down the guiding rules for the ecclesiastical authorities. The conflict over authentic /correct interpretation of Scripture and proper understanding of the core of the reformation was always of church-political in its essence. A typical representative for this approach in the mid-20th century is bishop Sigurbjörn Einarsson. 96
