Marsyliusz z Padwy jako teolog

The article presents the theological theories of Marsilius of Padua, one of the most original thinkers of the late Middle Ages. This aspect of Marsilius thought is often overlooked, as most researchers tend to concentrate on his political ideas. The author of the article first analyzes the foundations of Marsilius’ theology – his vision of salvation, the quasi-pelagian notion of grace, the concept divine law and the definition of the Church. Also analyzed in detail is the notion of priesthood and the concept of authority in the Church – his conciliar theory and rejection of the papal primacy. According to the author, Marsilius’ theology was radically anti-papal, anti-clerical. To a certain degree it anticipated theological ideas of the Reformation.
