Abstract Martin Luther’s concept of “priesthood of all believers” implies that everyone who has been baptised not only becomes a Christian, but also becomes a consecrated priest. There is room for a logical extension of Luther’s concept. If every Christian is a consecrated priest and has the right to administer the sacraments for himself, is there any necessity to retain a professional priesthood for the Church? While detailing how Luther’s concept entailed the shift of clerical functions from a sacramental priesthood to a preaching ministry as occurred within the evolving Protestant Churches, this paper offers a clarification of what Luther actually meant by his formula.

改革期间在英国教会建立传道事工

摘要马丁·路德（Martin Luther）的“所有信徒为祭司”的概念意味着受洗的每个人不仅会成为基督徒，而且会成为奉献的祭司。路德概念的逻辑扩展还有空间。如果每个基督徒都是奉献的祭司，并有权亲自管理圣餐，那么是否有必要为教会保留一个专业的祭司职位？在详细介绍路德的概念如何使神职人员从圣职转变为在不断发展的新教教会中发生的传道事工时，本文对路德实际上由他的公式表示的含义进行了说明。
