Ce que John Knox croyait concernant le voile

Head Covering: Church History Profiles

[Présentation de la série : Cet article fait partie d’une série qui examinera ce que certaines grandes figures de l’histoire de l’église croyaient à propos du voile. Leurs arguments, leur choix de langage et leurs conclusions ne sont pas forcément en accord avec ce que nous croyons. Le but de cette série est de vous exposer fidèlement les idées de ces personnes sur la question du voile, et non de sélectionner uniquement ce qui représenterait notre position.]

John Knox (1514-1572) était un pasteur écossais, il fut un acteur influent de la Réforme Protestante. Avec 5 autres réformateurs, Knox a rédigé la Confession de Foi Écossaise et fondé l’Église Presbytérienne Réformée, aussi connue comme l’Église d’Écosse.
John Knox

En 1558 John Knox écrivit “Premier coup de trompette contre le gouvernement monstrueux des femmes“. Cet ouvrage qu’il publia anonymement était un féroce argumentaire contre la domination féminine, qu’il considérait opposée aux enseignements de la Bible. Sa lettre fut adressée aux femmes souverains qui gouvernaient l’Angleterre et l’Écosse en ce temps là.

Dans ses écrits, il cite largement la Bible ainsi que diverses figures importantes de l’histoire de l’Église. Il voulait démontrer qu’une femme gardant une position subordonnée est le modèle biblique qui fut perpétué et transmis par des générations de chrétiens au cours des siècles.

Dans cette publication, il s’exprime brièvement sur 1 Corinthiens 11 et cite quelques extraits d’un texte de Jean Chrysostome en rapport avec le voile. L’intention de John Knox n’était pas de donner un enseignement sur le voile, mais de prouver que la femme ne doit pas diriger. Cependant, nous voyons bien à travers ses écrits quelle fut sa position sur le sujet. Read more

Marie Valle Covering Testimony

1) Introduce yourself to our readers.

Hello everyone. My name is Marie. After meeting and marrying the love of my life at our Assembly of God undergraduate college, I followed my husband on his journey to reformed Christianity during his years in seminary. A few months after he graduated, with a newborn in tow, we moved hundreds of miles from family and friends to a church that called Angelo to be their pastor in Alexandria, Pennsylvania. We’ve been in Alexandria for almost three years now and have since added another baby to the mix. I’m a stay-at-home mom to Jonathan (3) and Eliana (almost 1), along with all the responsibilities that come with being the pastor’s wife in a small county church. I love to cook & bake, especially with my son, tickle my daughter and watch lame superhero shows with my husband. Read more

While we hope that Scripture’s teaching on Biblical Womanhood has first and foremost affected your heart and behavior, have you allowed it to speak to your appearance and wardrobe too?
