Protestant pastor and theologian. Born in Ayabe, Kyoto Prefecture. While studying law at Tokyo Imperial University, he was baptized by Uemura Masahisa at Fujimicho Church. He dropped out of university and entered Tokyo Theological Seminary, and after graduating he became a professor at Tokyo Theological Seminary after working as a pastor in various places. After returning to Japan from a study abroad in England, he established Toyama Church (now Shinanocho Church) in Kashiwagi, Tokyo, and developed it into one of Japan's leading churches through his unique theological preaching. After Uemura's death, he served as the principal of Tokyo Theological Seminary and vice principal of Japan Theological Seminary, but died of physical and mental fatigue. He was a typical second-generation Christian following in the footsteps of Uemura and others, and his life was a constant struggle with the problem of the ego. His evangelical Christianity, which places special emphasis on the gospel of redemption through grace, is highly regarded for bringing theological awakening and direction to Japan in the early Showa period. His main work is "Evangelical Christianity."

プロテスタントの牧師、神学者。京都府綾部(あやべ)に生まれる。東京帝国大学独法科在学中に植村正久(うえむらまさひさ)により富士見町教会で受洗。大学を中退して東京神学社に入学、卒業後は各地の牧師を経て東京神学社の教授となる。イギリス留学より帰国後、東京・柏木(かしわぎ)に戸山教会(現、信濃(しなの)町教会)を設立、独自の神学的説教により、日本有数の優れた教会へと発展させた。植村の没後、東京神学社校長、日本神学校教頭などを歴任するが、心身の過労により死に至る。彼は植村らに続く典型的な2代目キリスト者であり、その生涯は一貫して自我の問題との苦闘の連続であった。恩寵(おんちょう)による贖罪(しょくざい)の福音(ふくいん)をとくに強調する彼の福音的キリスト教は、昭和初期の日本に初めて神学的な覚醒(かくせい)と方向づけとをもたらした点で高く評価される。主著に『福音的キリスト教』がある。 [石川 都 2018年3月19日] 『『高倉徳太郎著作集』全5巻(1964/オンデマンド版・2005・新教出版社)』 [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
